THE SCIENCE OF GENDER AND SCIENCE

http://www.edge.org/3rd_culture/debate05/debate05_index.html PINKER: Thanks, Liz, for a very stimulating and apposite presentation. A number of comments. I don't dispute a lot of the points you made, but many have lost sight of the datum that we're here to explain in the first place. Basic abilities like knowing that an object is still there when you put a hankie over it, or knowing that one object can't pass through another, are not the kinds of things that distinguish someone who's capable of being a professor of physics or math from someone who isn't.
