Why are women lower than men on the evolutionary scale?

Question

Think about it for a second. The vast majority of inventions, discoveries and advancements over the years have been made by men. And while females currently outnumber males in colleges, there is a disproportionate representation of men in the hard sciences (fields that require technical aptitude, like engineering and computer science)... while women, unable to handle an academically rigoruous curriculum, stick to "soft" fields like psychology, lib arts, and woman's studies.

Answer 1

First there were females, only then did nature bring about men. The greater variance possible was a survival factor.

Then males started protecting the females and take care of anything to with outside threats. Which included inventions (wheel, bow and arrow, spears, stone cutting tools). So their brains developed for that, whereas females didn't need that. Same thing with making decisions.

That's why most women are still lousy at that too.

Answer 2

I don't think women are lower on the evolutionary scale. How can you decide what field is soft or hard based on your opinion? If your going to discredit others answers then bring evidence to your question. Although I don't have the answer to your question because I'm sure you would find a way to discredit it. Instead here is a link to a book you can read and get all your questions answered. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0521787386/102-6934514-6751304?v=glance&n=283155 As for the unable to handle an academically rigoruous curriculum is not true. I am a music education major and I am required to take 18+ credit hours a semester. Factor in hours of practies a day ontop of that and having to satisfy the education department along with the music department. I have an education class comeing up that's seven credit hours. I'm almost a senior just by my credit hours but still have three more years with the 18+ credit hour per semester schedule. I recently talked to an older male in the music department who is working on an education degree also. He is a retired scientist that worked for NASA. I just assumed that music was easier but he corrected me and said that the music classes were harder than anything he did for NASA.

You people...lol



Ok...here's my take on your theory. Women usually leave their families to love their men and their children. They are more self sacrificing for their men and children than the men are for their women and children. Children pick up on this. Women have their girlfriends, but don't bond to them like men to their male friends, because, once again, women are more self sacrificing for men and their needs.



A very smart woman knows that men use their d*cks for thinking and charm their way into the man's pants and use him for all he's worth, then leave him and go on to the next, but again, women are about sacrifice.



There is an old saying, "Behind every good man is a woman." That is because most women feed their man's ego so he can do well in life. This makes the woman look good as well. Over and over again in many different religious books women are even told that this is their job.



On the other hand, men have a difficult time raising children and attending to the aesthetics of life. In a world of only men (unless the men are gay), the world would be crude and ugly.



This has all been scientifically been documented again and again in studies of things like...psychology, which you deem a "soft" field. Hard evidence studies point to the need for both sexes to continue a balance in this otherwise harsh, cruel world.



Personally, I love discussions with educated men. And, most women are wonderfully beautiful and charming of any educational level. How is it that socially women get along with everyone, and men on the other hand, for the most part, have more difficulties in society settings?

Answer 4

I am a male.



The name of the most intelligent person in the world is 'Marilyn Vos Savant', not 'Marilyn Von Santos'.



Average female IQ is actually 1 point higher than average male IQ. That is a measure of general intelligence, which is the ability to recognize patterns, pathways, and solutions to problems.



On the average, females have inferior spatial intelligence and superior verbal intelligence to males.



The supposedly lower initiative of females due to past inventions and discoveries is of no relevance, because women have been oppressed ever since Roe vs. Wade and the related sexual equality revolution. Before, women did not even have the opportunity to contribute much to society. Now they do. The initiative of women should therefore only be judged by their contributions since about 1970.

Answer 5

going right back to caveman times and even before that men have always been the hunters and women have been the homemakers. men and women's brains are designed differently because from an evolutionary point of view they are both designed to for different things eg men can see longer distances than women which helps them hunt better and women have a wider sence of vision so they can see whats around them better. there haven't been many women inventors because women's brains arnt designed for that purpose its the same with women mechanics they just dont have the patients to sit around and tinker with things but that's all changing now because in this day and age men dont need to hunt and fight for survival and women dont necessarily need to stay at home with the kids. which is why my b/f thinks women will eventually rule the world. there brain has a sex which is either male or female some men have a female brain and some women have a male brain. men are better at some tasks than women and women are better at some tasks than men.

Answer 6

Gender has not anything to do with it. Hillary is corrupt , and Obama isn't skilled, no approach they must be in workplace, interval. Ron Paul votes extraordinary than he talks, so I am now not vote casting for those 3 for certain. Younger electorate have to be conscious that socialism and communism are very with ease brainwashed into younger minds. I desire more youthful electorate are smarter than Clinton and Obama provide them credit score for. An Example of Clinton's Lack of IntegrityHillary Clinton's crusade admitted in these days that it were stuck planting a query from an viewers member at certainly one of her crusade stops in Iowa. Clinton known as on a tender tuition pupil who requested a query approximately worldwide warming and Clinton replied that she will get a majority of these questions always from the younger folks. My query is, if she will get those questions always why the have to plant it? Surely if she will get them always she could get it at this occasion. There are many troubling units within the tale. The tale shows that she didn't recognize which questioners she could be calling on so why plant the query? How most probably is it she could prefer the plant except she knew who it was once? The article shows: «But the supply of the query was once no accident — at this occasion 'they desired a query from a tuition pupil,' Gallo-Chasanoff. The crusade is in safeguard mode for the reason that this could offend Iowans for whom «the caucus is held sacred and the impromptu and candid kind of town corridor assembly is held expensive, Clinton's planted query would possibly come as a satisfactory offense to Iowans.» I observe that there are supporters of Clinton who will remark that each one applicants do that. I am certain lots of them do even though she is the one one stuck. More importantly, she is meant to be supplying herself as one more option for the electorate. If she is doing the identical factor as all people else, how extraordinary is she? I think there are even individuals who will say this isn't unsuitable to do or that it's no colossal deal. I agree that it's no colossal deal but when I had been going for walks I could simply deal with the obstacle with out the questioner. But alternatively, the Clinton crusade needs to appear find it irresistible is addressing the every day issues Americans (and the Chinese and Europeans) have. I have suspicions that she isn't requested this always. If there's any doubt that it was once considered as unsuitable, even by means of the crusade, they talked about that they feel it was once once they recounted: «...it could now not occur once more.» Of direction, they could imply they would possibly not get stuck once more or they could imply now not once more as in Bill is not going to molest females once more. Despite the claims made by means of others, integrity does now not look to be held in top regard in that camp. Consider this submit an illustration to help the declare (that she lacks integrity).

RE HISTORY:

It's not that women were unevolved, it's that men were afraid of the competition and passed laws or institutional rules that would prohibit it.



(Ditto for people of color, whom I'm guessing you think you are superior to as well since they didn't invent or discover anything either per your K-12 history books.)



IE: voting, owning property, attending university, having a career, running for political office (one cannot run for President when one cannot vote).





RE CURRENT COLLEGE KIDS:

SAT scores say otherwise. Boys and girls are even. The differences lie more in economic background. For example, kids from schools in wealthier neighborhoods tend to score higher than kids from poorer neighborhoods.



As to why aren't more women taking engineering and computer science classes.... What woman would want to spend her days surrounded by ignorant people such as yourself? Takes a brave woman to take engineering classes, because she needs to deal with all this sexist BS in addition to her classwork. Even the teachers make degrogatory comments. And in some cases, the university presidents.

Answer 8

That's because men don't let the "ladies" do anything especially long ago and so while the "ladies" finally get 2 do stuff the guys r still running stuff and they just choose the guys over "ladies" thinking that we can't do anything because we "show" no muscles but I'm alot stronger than a lot of guys in my grade! *not trying 2 brag but...* and so guys tend 2 think we're weak when we can be just as strong!! But I don't think the working stuff has anything 2 do w/ evolution

Answer 9

That isn't being lower on the evolution scale. That's thousands of years of repression slowly coming off.



The smartest person in the world is a woman, Marilyn Van Santos.

Answer 10

Because women were busy doing all the grunt work at home so that those men could succeed.
