Like I said on the other thread, differences on average are small, aggression and assertiveness at the peak of the bell curve may be 60/40 male/female, only slightly different than chance, but the tails of the curve are a different story.

If you take two random/average people, one male, one female, the male will be the more aggressive/assertive 60% of the time, but go to a supermax prison, where they keep the absolutely most aggressive/assertive people on the planet, and they are 9 sigma male.

Little differences magnify.

That list seems shockingly consistent with an outcome in which men do more hunting, fighting and navigating and women do more gathering, storage/maintenance, nurturing and decorating.

Must indeed be minor differences, though.

“Males under 40 tend to detect small movements in their visual field better than females.”

Predator animals tend to have what is called savanna sight. And ability to pick out movement against a background. Humans are predator animals.
