For centuries
men and women
knew there were
differences
between the
sexes. In the
past 2 decades
of the 20th
century there
has been an
explosion of
scientific
research into
what makes the
sexes
different.
Discoveries in
human biology
now provide a
comprehensive
framework to
help us
understand who
we are and why.
The sexes are
different
because their
brains are
different.
Brain sex
explores
these exciting
and sometimes
controversial
discoveries.

has decided to
build the
first-ever
British liner
designed
