CAN SPIDER MONKEYS HELP US UNDERSTAND WHY GIRLS LIKE SUGAR AND SPICE AND BOYS LIKE SLUGS AND SNAILS? I for one think so...
Sociologists will tell you society makes us behave the way we do & it is society's fault that males can focus on details and excel in engineering and physics and that it is due to societal conditioning that females orientate towards people-centered careers, such as nursing. Yet parents insist they never made their son like toy cars and they never encouraged their daughter to play with dolls. Boys and girls and men and women naturally segregate for play and for work and I think there is a genetic reason for this and that society was built by our evolved biology. New research on the spider monkey at Runaway Creek in Belize reveals they are a sexually segregated species and it's speculated that other primates, including chimpanzees and orang utans, may also be sexually segregated. I wrote a bit about this in New Scientist.
