New book on evolution and sex differences criticised as outdated

Original: How has evolution shaped men's and women's minds? A new book tells an outdated story

A newly published book about how evolution has shaped men's and women's minds is being criticised for telling an outdated story. Coverage argues that its account of evolved psychological differences between the sexes relies on ideas that modern research has moved past, reigniting long-running debate over evolutionary explanations of gender differences in cognition and behaviour.

Why now: The book's claims about evolved sex differences in the mind touch a contentious scientific and social debate.
