Is there biological sex difference in human? It is said that men have good spatial recognition ability or are good at math and women have good empathy ability. There are many papers about sex differences. Some papers say there are sex differences and some papers say not. I think there are sex differences between men and women. But it includes cultural effect. Are there "biological" sex difference in human? No one knows the right answer because we cannot remove cultural effect. But we have some ways to approach this topic. First, to use animals. We can raise animals in environment completely separated from culture. Mice has sex differences in some behavior such as coordination, anxiety-like behavior and spatial and non-spatial task performance. Second, to compare difference culture. Interestingly, difference in spatial recognition ability is more appear in countries that have big gender gap. Both methods have problems. Animal is different from human and the definition of gender gap is complicating.

Is there a biological difference between the sexes in humans?

It is said that men have good spatial recognition ability or are good at math and women are good at empathizing with others. There are many papers about gender differences. Some papers say there are differences between the genders and some papers say not. I think there are sex differences between men and women, but this includes cultural effects. Are there "biological" gender differences in humans? No one knows the right answer because we cannot remove cultural effects, but we have some ways to approach this topic. First, it is possible to use animals. We can raise animals in environments completely separated from culture. Mice have gender differences in some behaviors such as coordination, anxiety-like behavior and spatial and non-spatial task performance. Second, we can compare different cultures. Interestingly, differences in spatial recognition ability is appear stronger in countries that have a bigger gender gap. Both methods have problems. Animals are different from humans and the definition of the gender gap is complicated.


"Sex differences" does not sound quite right. "gender differences", "differences between the genders", and "differences between the sexes" are better alternatives.

Great work!
