Men are smarter than women...and stupider, too!!!

The average intelligence of men and women is about the same. However, whereas women tend to cluster together in the middle range of intelligence, men are found at the extremes as being the most intelligent and the most stupid.

There have been several explanations for this distribution. Some biological, in that women need a certain level of intelligence to raise children, whereas men are not constrained by these obligations which allows greater variation in intelligence. However, recently, genetics has put forward a different explanation to account for these facts.

Why have intelligence genes been accumulated on the human sex chromosomes?
Then according to the article the men fall in both extremes while women are always the average.

Interesting, though the study of article is from 2005, I will try to find out on google when I to have some time. :p

Maybe we are talking about different kinds of intelligence, dictated by the specifics of the certain gender and hormonal levels.
Males and females are different, but still equal in their difference.
