A recent study in the Biology Letterssuggests that men have an enhanced ability to judge someone’s size by the sound of their voice. Not that this ability is necessarily exclusive to men. Other studies have shown that all people have a hard-wired talent for guessing a person's height, weight, and facial features, based on only a sample of their voi...

Women have more P cells, which are responsible for identifying objects, as well as analyzing textures and colors. Promise us you won't use this one the next time you're in a ...
Women and wen process information differently. Men use mostly the left hemisphere of the brain, while women tend to employ both hemispheres.

In a study done on 100 babies on the day of their birth, girls were found to prefer looking at a young woman’s faces, while boys preferred moving objects. Pixabay
The area of the brain that is thought to influence mathematical ability is larger in men than in women. The brain areas that control math and geometry skills also mature about four years earlier in men. Shutterstock
Most babies that are born with defects and disabilities are male. One major reason for this is that females have a "spare X chromosome." Essentially, this results in redundancy that protects against certain recessive defects caused by genes on the X chromosome. For example, if a male baby is born with the gene for red–green color blindness on its X...
The more muscle-mass a person has, the more blood is needed to fuel it. As muscle mass builds, so do veins. Since men on average have more muscle-mass than females, they tend to have more prominent veins. Shutterstock
