}foundations of biological knowledge! So it must remain until we develop a wider and deeper consciousness of what constitutes ordered knowledge, and by what cycle of thought it is to be achieved. Yet to feel some discontent with medicine as we find it does not imply any lack of pride in its achievements, nor any diminished sense of privilege in seeking to serve it. If one is a critic, it is, I trust, in the spirit expressed by Milton when he says, " For he who freely magnifies what hath been…

A Role for the X Chromosome in Sex Differences in Variability in General Intelligence?
- Biology, PsychologyPerspectives on psychological science : a journal of the Association for Psychological Science
- 2009
The expected ratios of males to females at various points in the distribution are explored and the proportion of variance in general intelligence potentially due to genes on the X chromosome is estimated, providing clues to the extent to which biologically based sex differences could be manifested in the environment as sex differences in displayed intellectual abilities.
Gender differences in erotic plasticity: the female sex drive as socially flexible and responsive.
- PsychologyPsychological bulletin
- 2000
A large assortment of evidence supports 3 predictions based on the hypothesis of female erotic plasticity: individual women will exhibit more variation across time than men in sexual behavior, female sexuality will exhibit larger effects than male in response to most specific sociocultural variables, and sexual attitude-behavior consistency will be lower for women than men.

Using two population-wide surveys of general intelligence in 11-year-olds in Scotland, it was shown that there were substantial departures from normality in the distribution, with less variability in the higher range than in the lower, and sex differences in variability did not appear to account for sex Differences in high-level achievement.
