ÜBER DIESE EPISODE

Do men really have a better sense of direction than women?

Some theories in evolutionary psychology propose that men are better at spatial navigation than women due to evolutionary factors. In prehistoric times, men, as hunters, traversed long distances, while women stayed closer to the home.

This difference supposedly led to natural selection favouring genes in men associated with better spatial navigation skills. However, these theories have been widely challenged, in particular by British philosopher Cordelia Fine. Back in 2010 she published a book entitled Delusions of Gender: How Our Minds, Society, and Neurosexism Create Difference.

Why has the misconception around spatial navigation persisted? Does education have anything to do with it? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
