Brain differentiation - independent research and poor citations[edit]

Just at quick look of this section: there are at least a few statements and conclusions in the section’s text which are *contradicted* by their reference citations.

Many of the references used to support broad, generalized claims are primary source articles written with the rhetorical feel of niche, activist scholarship. Moreover, these single journal citations make claims which run counter to large, decades-long bodies of established research — this section text essentially ignores.

I’m not actually familiar with the protocol ins-and-outs of collaborating on Wikipedia. And don’t want to step on any toes, here — so just thought I’d leave a note. :) Hedonistbot4000 (talk) 09:23, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

For example: “thus the brain differences commonly seen as "sex differences" have been instead linked to competition.”

In a sexually dimorphic species: Differences linked to male mate competition, and mating organizational structure — this is causal evidence FOR sex differences. This is literally how sexual selection works to create biological, evolutionary sex differences. I’m confused that the text implies this is counter-evidence Hedonistbot4000 (talk) 09:38, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
