Maurice you keep contradicting yourself but you simply gloss over your mistakes and go back to flogging the same idea which you cannot support.

==="All of it of course. 100%! No nutrition = the fertilized egg dies. Deficiency in say folic acid, the foetus gets neural tube defects. Deficiency in iodine, more disaster. Not enough selenium, zinc, iron etc game over. Not much protein = not much brain. Etc. Great DNA does nothing.

All discouragement = no development because contrary to popular myth, we don't learn from our mistakes, we learn from our successes. When we make a mistake, all we do is identify that effort as a failure not to repeat = do something different. It's the success which is learned and repeated. Encouragement is part of success. What gets rewarded gets done. Encouragement is reward."

========== You keep saying that gender difference is the entire thing with female brains maturing 3 years earlier. Yet you keep contradicting yourself with comments like those above.

I have an open mind on this issue. I want to see the actual biological test that says: this is where mathematical genius resides in the brain and you can see the structure or activity related to mathematical genius on this scan. This structure or activity is directly related to gender.

You need to be more skeptical.
