I have a new piece out in @SAPIENS_org working through many of the myths and misconceptions about female-male differences in athletic performance https://t.co/lZ9lTWSIkk
@NotreDame @AnthroND @GenderStudiesND
sapiens.org
An anthropologist discusses how research reveals female-male athletes differences, on average. But they cut both ways.
