I'll go with you or with your brother, it's all the same, it's all the same

Turns out men may be biologically less variable than women. Check out today's Nature. They published the sequence of the X chromosome yesterday. I also recommend reading Erika Check's somewhat biting news feature -- talks about the proponderance of brain proteins coded for on the X chromosome, here's a taste:

"Summers and his acolytes can chew on this thought: even if there's any truth in the idea that men are more suited to a career in science than women, they just might owe this mental predisposition to the 'girly' chromosome."

(Larry Summers made the news today, too.)
