The 70% Throwing Gap That Appears by Age 3

Atom · refreshed Search related

By age three, boys already show 50–70% better throwing accuracy than girls — a gap far too early in development to be explained by toys, upbringing, or cultural expectations. The figure is a favorite of evolutionary psychologists because it shifts the debate from 'nurture shapes everything' to 'nature arrives pre-loaded.' It also makes the throwing test a clean proxy for prenatal androgen exposure in research.
