The article discusses scientific research on the sex differences between men and women in light of a recent book by the neurobiologist Donald Pfaff. The article examines the role of genes, sex hormones such as oestrogen and testosterone, and epigenetic chemical changes in DNA in sexual differentiation, which can occur both before and after birth. Also examined are the differences between men and women with regard to behavior, play preferences, and mental illness. INSETS: TOY STORY;WIRED FOR TROUBLE;THE ORIGINS OF ANTAGONISM.
