Real Genetic Research

At last, the rhetoric seems to be calming, and the real scientific research about the differences between male and female genetics is beginning to surface. As my daughter Rosemarie previously stated here, the Human Genome Project has virtually turned previous work on its scientific ear. Maureen Dowd addresses these latest findings in her March 20 column, Op-Ed Columnist: X-celling Over Men . It appears that recent research is finding out how different women's genes really are - in fact, it seems that, while men's genetics are pretty stable and predictable, there are vastly more variables in a woman's genetic material. Which, I think, would make it even harder to make generalized statements about women's genetic aptitudes. Following this research, which is truly in its infancy, will be truly exciting.
