Hunan genetics - A father's imprint on his daughter's thinking

Why do women often fare better than men in social situations? The answer, it seems, may be in our genes. Studies of women with Turner's syndrome, who have either all or part of one X chromosome missing, indicate that social functioning is influenced by a gene on the X chromosome that is switched off if it is inherited from the mother. This may explain why men (who all inherit their X chromosome maternally) are more susceptible than women to developmental disorders that affect language and social functioning.
