At the age of about 20 years, an average human female's brain weight is around 1300 grams, while a male's brain weight is around 1450 grams. This is because the "average male" is physically larger than the "average female." But there's no correlation between brain size and intelligence within healthy members of the same species. The brain doesn't work like a muscle -- it doesn't get bigger if you exercise it more, and a bigger brain doesn't necessarily make you smarter!

Hardware wise yes. like there bodies are different. they need to be able to control the differences in there bodies. for instance how to give birth or when to start lactating. this is just the start. that is the natural difference and then of course we have the cultural difference. which has a strong impact on mentality of a group of people. the group being females, think much differently which requires different wiring schemes of the mind. this is to say are brains were more alike in the beginning and slowly changed away from each other due to the culture that was imposed on each sex over the years.

Male and female brains show differences in the developing fetus at just 26 weeks of pregnancy. The bridge of nerve tissue that connects the right and left sides of the brain are thicker female than in males.

Females seem to have language functioning in both sides of the brain. As a whole, girls outperform boys in the use of language and fine motor skills until age 12. Boys also have learning disabilities more frequently than girls. More boys have dyslexia and ADHD. Girls with ADHD usually exhibit inattention while affected boys seem to lack impulse control.

Boys show superiority in math and geometry. When it comes to math a 12-year-old girl resembles that of an 8-year-old boy. But the brain involved in language and fine motor skills (such as handwriting) mature about six years earlier in girls than in boys.

No. But they develop differently. Sex hormones begin to exert their influence at just 26 weeks of pregnancy. The corpus callosum had a thicker measurement in female than in male fetuses. This may result in the strong language skills typically displayed by females. Boys generally demonstrate superiority over female peers in areas of the brain involved in math and geometry (spacial).

A woman's brain is slightly smaller than man's Since all brains should be different sizes, we will never know for sure.

Some connections between parts of the brain are more or less developed depending on sex. Other parts may also be larger or smaller themselves.
