Why do women have smaller brains than men?

Answer 1

Don't expect any calls from chicks anytime soon, you retard.

Answer 2

Womens brains are smaller than mens.
BUT!!
Women have more brain cells
Women's brains are more tightly packed with cells in the area that controls mental processes such as judgement, personality, planning and working memory, researchers have discovered.

A team from McMaster University, Ontario, Canada, found that women have up to 15% more brain cell density in certain areas of the frontal lobe, which controls so-called higher mental processes.

"Women have smaller brains, but there is no difference in the mental performance of men and women.

Answer 3

It is proportional to their smaller overall body size.

In adults, the average brain weight in men is about 11-12% MORE than the average brain weight in women. Men's heads are also about 2% bigger than women's. Remember though, men on average weigh more than women and that absolute brain size may not be the best measure of intelligence. Many behavioral differences have been reported for men and women. For example, it has been said that women are better in certain language abilities and men are better in certain spatial abilities. Many studies have tried to find differences in the right and left cerebral hemispheres to suggest that male and female brains are different. However, few of these experiments have found meaningful differences between men and women. If fact, there are many similarities between the cerebral hemispheres of men and women.

Answer 4

Becuase women, for th most part, are naturally smaller than men. It would make sense if the brain, as well, was naturally smaller. Still works the same though!

Answer 5

That's a completely false statement. Do you have any scientific proof to attest to that? Actually there are a lot of smarter women than men. But that doesn't mean their brains are necessarily big. So smartness is not predetermined by the size of the brains and ergo by the quantity of brain cells. Gray matter, anyone? Ever heard the expression empty jars make too much noise.

Answer 6

Bigger brains are better. Don't kid yourself. Denying such is a delusion...bigger brains are more intelligent. You can clearly see this through evolution; our brains are 3 times bigger than chimps for a reason people.


However, the reality of it all is, much of your brain is used for motor skills and movement and the likes.

Men have bigger brains because they are infact bigger and require more motor skill, just as an elephant has a bigger brain than a man. However, it is the size of the parts of the brain that are for cognitive abilities that make you smart, which in case the elephant has less than man. That and brain to body size is also important; more brain mass to body mass is usually smarter, unless you lack parts of the brain for higher level thinking.

Women have an average IQ very close to men, but they deviate less from the mean. Are men smarter than women? No, but they have more people in the genius IQ range and more morons in the retarded IQ range.

Answer 7

If that is a scientific fact, it has to be because Women require less to think. Most men think they only use half of their brain and constantly apologize for it when; they can't explain their imaturity, don't know the answer to something, get into trouble or are questioned about something they're caught in.

Women on the other hand know their entire brain is functional but require less of it because they are smarter more mature and know how to use it.

Answer 8

Men have big heads and use wrong percentage of 10 percent of the average brain that is used. Women typically have smaller more feminine sized heads but they use the better 10 percent of the brain therefore the reason all great men have a great woman who pushed them there. lol:-) One should always have a sense of humor, if when a hard headed redheaded independent female.
So please forgive that is just my humor style:-)

Answer 9

If mens brains were smaller they would all explode after storing all the important information in there that we woman have stored. So, naturally God had mercy on you guys and gave you more room. Just like it's known that woman need more closet space for their things. Just look at it as a fair trade of space. :)

Answer 10

If by smaller brains you mean less intelligent, overall, then it's just the way they're made and not their faults.
If you mean just in weight and size....I guess the same applies generally.
Just don't assume there is any relation between head size and intelligence.

Answer 11

Women have smaller brains than men because God economised on our skull space, since our brain neurons fire much faster than mens, which helps us deal with all the stress that men in their ignorace (because of their larger brains, and lacking neuro capacities) put us women through.
