- Summary:
- We all know that men and women, though equal, are not the same. But the concrete physiological differences between the sexes are more numerous than most people realize. From alcohol tolerance to zinc deficiency, this entertaining and informative work describes and explains over a hundred gender differences, ranging from the apparent - differences in growth patterns, aging, and even dying - to the imperceptible. Readers will learn why men can throw farther but are more likely to stutter, and why women generally possess superior verbal skills but are more prone to motion sickness.
