The hypotheses underlying the gender differences are still under study and reflect with high probability the high gene expression of the X chromosome and the reduced expression of the genes present in the Y chromosome.

The much discussed dichotomy between male and female gender does not seem to derive exclusively from a traditional and cultural heritage.
In fact, from the first year of life, it is possible to notice differences in the choice of moving visual targets between males and females.
Children are more attracted to the image of a moving car, while girls are attracted to a moving face (Luchtmaya, B. Cohen, 2002).
The hypotheses underlying these differences between the sexes are still under study and reflect with high probability the high gene expression of the X chromosome and the reduced expression of the genes present in the Y chromosome, as well as the possibility of de novo mutations and the different biological characteristics. , such as androgen hormone differences.
He would also explain to us the different career choices between men and women.
For years, scholars have tried to give an explanation to the female predilection for professions concerning care and which involved empathic and communicative-linguistic skills, compared to male self-systematics.
Some believe that at equal environmental exposures there is no difference between the XX phenotype and the XY behavioral phenotype.
For others, however, it is not a question of simple nurture, that is, experiential influence; among the various studies in favor of the latter hypothesis, there are some that associate a too high amount of testosterone in the prenatal period in an XY fetus with the appearance of an autistic phenotype, therefore characterized by a high tendency towards systematicity, a reduced repertoire of interests and of communicative interest (Auyeung, B. Cohen, 2010) (Knickmeyer, B. Cohen, 2006).
Advertisement Last but not least, we will examine one of the classic prototypes in the difference between genders: the propensity, considered to be all female, to talk more than boys.
Is it really just a prototype?
It would not seem so from the studies conducted by Paediatrics Child Health, according to which girls have much more complex cells in the areas assigned to language, which would facilitate the acquisition of the complex mechanisms underlying verbal skills (Kolb, 2009).
To conclude, although the prototypes are always to be analyzed on the basis of the context, it is also true that some genetic characteristics convey our response to that particular environment in an important way, in a general epigenetic framework.
Pinker and Spelke compare themselves with respect to gender differences in science and report studies on the biological and social factors that determine them
