A nice discussion is surely in the potential of this thread; I hope to follow it with interest as well.

As often is the case with the polls, there probably is not really enough room to put all plausible cases, and that sometimes makes it hard. Those which I voted for turned out to be the biggest ones yet, but there was still some hesitation on a few of them.

I go along with research that states that each brain is different at birth, although there is a 'basic set-up' which is practically the same in all. This 'being different' often seems to imply a difference in potential--in that the brain is largely 'plastic'.

The well evidenced differences between the 'male' brain and the 'female' brain total out to become an 'average difference', with a fair degree of overlap between most in any of the two sexes. (That has come up on an earlier thread also--I'm overlap, but, obviously, more of a 'male' brain.)

The term/concept 'culture' has a lot that can be discussed it seems, as can also that of 'race'--the latter being even more uncertain, or lacking, as far as concrete explanations go.

I look forward to watching what goes down here. (Alas, I now have one more thing to keep an eye on in all my busy-ness. . . but I love it, and live for it !!)
