Man are supposedly better at reading maps and have a greater sence of large scale spacial awareness, woman have a better sence of detail which comes from the fact that men used to go out and travel large distances hunting developing a better understanding of geography. Woman however developed a better awareness of immediate surroundings due to the fact that they would be able to spot any potential dangers in the 'cave'. If asked to get the butter out the fridge, I have to look for 5 minutes without seeing it, yet my ability to find a distant pub is amazing. Can anyone else think of any other examples of differences between the sexes that can be attributed to our caveman background?
