Men and women use different brain areas to achieve similar IQ results, UCI study finds
I can't decide what is more astonishing in this finding - the fact that women and men have brain architectures that rely on completely different mechanisms, or the fact that despite these fundamental differences, their intelligence levels are the same. Usually, a radically different architecture will give rise to noticible performance differences. It seems unlikely that this intelligence parity is coincidental. It is amazing how precisely selective evolutionary forces can be.
