5/n It boils down to if male brains are on average 11% bigger than female brains, since human males are on average 11% bigger in body than human females, then you can posit that 11% includes a threshold effect in brain internal organization. Size matters?
4/ Now it's become a really neat argument, since this now isn't just about sexual dimorphism in human brains, but also a long-running argument between two schools of thought about brain development: call 'em structuralism & functionalism. https://t.c
