You see, that's one of the problems I've had in this thread. You guys are assuming that "the influence of genetics" can be compared with "the influence of the environment" in a broad, general way, identical for
all human intellectual features. That's an unproven assumption which I see no reason to accept.
In the first few pages of this thread, some studies that mentioned empathy were brought to the table by Ilya. It may well happen that there are innate, largely genetic, differences between men and women in what regards empathy, but that, in what concerns mathematical ability, no genetic differences between men and women exist.
