    Excerpts from Brain Sex

    At a few hours old girls are more sensitive than boys to touch.

    Tests between the sexes of tactile sensitivity in the hands and fingers produce differences so striking that sometimes male and female scores do not even overlap, the most sensitive boy feeling less than the least sensitive girl.
