    "Why are men evolved/created soooo differently to women"


    There is heaps of material on this subject - google will reveal a great deal.

    So for what it's worth I'll have a go.

    Until relatively recently (relative to the the odd 100,000 or so years that our species have been around) we lived in caves (or other dwellings?) and our lives were very different to what they are today.

    As I understand it male and female roles were very different to each other and distinct.

    Males went out hunting and fighting with neighbours to provide food and protection from surrounding clans. This required focused attention on a small number of tasks that involved a spatial appreciation of were they were, danger, appreciation of nature etc. The point is that they only dealt with one thing at a time.

    Females stayed home (or in their caves?) to look after families. Women had to multitask, to look after children and maybe their own parents, including nurturing and protection, preparation of food, making clothes from skins, keeping fires going for protection etc

    No wonder women are better at multitasking than men are! :)

    Over time men's and women's brains evolved to include different skills and ways of looking at life.

    Just my ramblings, not a scientific paper!
