Opposite_Sexes

Opposite Sexes During the course of human history, many questions have been raised about the somewhat different behaviors each sex demonstrates. From a 1992 edition of the Texas Monthly, Lawrence Wright mentions that “unlike women who carry two x chromosomes, men have an X and a Y. Biological concerns have been one of the main questions dealing with behavioral characteristics in both the man and the woman.” Wright also refers to the possibility that one sex, particularly the female, has an advantage because of the genetic makeup it contains. The human genome is sometimes referred to as a “map.” Genetics, in a sense, determines how an individual will turn out, but of course the environment to which one was exposed determines how the genetic makeup comes into play. On the behavioral side of things, these traits can be determined biologically and environmentally. A book published by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), explains that until recently the popular focus on behavior primarily centered on the environment in which one was raised. In more recent years, they explain that genetic and physiological differences have also come into play as being another answer for what influences and determines the behavioral differences between sexes.
