Evolved masculine and feminine behaviors can be inherited from social environment

The human environment and culture do not take different actions on gender due to inheritance, but allow some gender-specific behavioral characteristics to be handed down from generation to generation.

Daphna Joel of Journal of Cognitive Science, Cordelia Fine, University of Melbourne, John Dupré of Exeter University, Daphna Joel of Tel Aviv University introduced a new progress in evolution theory and the influence of sex on the brain of the current model. That is, in some sex-related traits, genetic and hormonal components of gender interact with other factors to produce inter-individual variability while environmental factors provide the necessary stability conditions for reproductive traits of each generation .

These two important changes in scientific thinking indicate the possibility that the role of gender seen in different generations may best be explained by genetic social and environmental conditions.

"Even in mammals other than humans, if the relevant environmental conditions change, there is a possibility that the adaptive properties developed reliably over several generations may disappear within several generations," Dupre said.

"Genetic inheritance is still important for the ability to rapidly learn adaptive behaviors, but environmental factors that remain stable against the generation have eliminated the selection pressure on the development of parallel genetic mechanisms."

The scholars use the latest research results of this article on recent evolution theory and the relationship between sex and brain.

As part of another research, Professor Joel and colleagues said that the human brain is composed of a mosaic of distinctive features, a more common one with a certain gender and a more general one with a different gender discovered.

Professor Joel stated that: "As mentioned earlier, male and female brains can not explain positive behaviors and women's behavior, the highly stable nature of the social environment can better explain the inheritance of intergenerational gender characteristics.

This article stated that there is a possibility that non-genetic mechanisms may be particularly important to humans, as our culture strongly encourages male or female roles. Human learning ability makes it possible to inherit information from generation to generation.

Professor Fine says, "The conclusion is that, through direct action to the brain, it is always biological and when it becomes our genetic and indicative sex characteristics, it is said to be" re-emphasized " It is necessary to question the assumption.

Overall, if we pay attention to sociology, we need to understand that manhood and femininity are determined not through our heritage but through social heritage. From the beginning, we have taught ways to act, act and socialize according to gender. These behaviors have been handed down to us so it will be very difficult to change this and it is difficult for children to express these behaviors for their customs.

Depending on masculinity, femininity, and communication situation, men show women's behavior, women show background of male behavior, and show background of sexism behavior. Both males and females show signs of social behavior for women or men; they are not always gender specific. Research by Rahman et al. (2003) I found a gender difference in verbal fluency. Researchers examined gender differences between sexes and sexes between homosexuals and men and women. The results of the study showed that the language fluency scores of homosexual men and women are heterosexual. To test the fluency of the language, subjects were assessed for fluency of letters, categories, and synonyms. Gay men have the best score for synonyms with letters, but gay women have the lowest letter score. These differences are related to functional differences between the prefrontal cortex and the temporal cortex of the group.

Professor Joel stated that: "As mentioned earlier, male and female brains can not explain positive behaviors and women's behavior, the highly stable nature of the social environment can better explain the inheritance of intergenerational gender characteristics.
