Women are not only capable of much. They are even capable of things that men cannot by definition, due to physiology, psychology, or evolutionary preferences.
Two centers of speech
Men in the left hemisphere have a center responsible for speech, and if a man is injured in this hemisphere, he loses his speech and stops "seeing" drawings "in three-dimensional space. In women, two centers are responsible for speech: more in the left hemisphere, smaller in the right. Scientists associate this with the influence of the female sex hormone.
Men perceive speech as a transfer of information, and women as part of an emotional reshuffle. It is estimated that a woman can easily pronounce up to 8,000 words a day, using up to 3,000 sounds and up to 10,000 non-verbal cues. A man utters up to 4000 words a day, makes up to 2000 sounds and makes up to 3000 gestures.
Find the traitor
Studies have shown that women can figure out a windy man at one glance. Scientists from the Australian National University conducted an experiment in which 34 women were asked to find several cheaters among twenty photographs of men. 62% answered correctly. Men in a similar experiment were less discerning. 77% of the respondents denounced the "wrong".

Scientists attribute this intuition to the risks faced by a woman in case of casual relationships.
Better sense of smell
In terms of smell, women have no equal. A woman's nose can catch not only the smell of burning, threatening the house, but also the smell of pheromones, which cannot be done deliberately. Moreover, a woman's brain is able to "read" the man's smell and decipher it, determining how strong his immunity is. Scientists believe that in most cases, no more than three seconds is enough for a woman. If a woman's immune system is weaker, she will find a man sexually attractive.
See the world brighter
Any woman who was driven to despair by the inability of her husband to help her with the choice of the color of the dress should know - this is not because he “doesn't care”, he just sees colors differently. As shown by the experiments of scientists from the University of New York, it is difficult for men to distinguish the slightest shades of yellow, green and blue. In other words, if you show an orange to a man and a woman, then for a man it will be "more red". The same is with the grass - for women it is always greener than for men.
According to Professor Israel Abramov, differences in the perception of color by different sexes cannot be explained by differences in the structure of the eye. The answer lies in how the brain, under the influence of the hormone testosterone, processes and perceives signals from the organs of vision. The researcher believes that such an ability could have been formed even before the advent of agriculture, when men were engaged in hunting, and women were gathering - looking for edible plants. As a result, men are better able to distinguish small details of moving objects - a useful quality for hunters, and women are better at distinguishing colors.
Peripheral vision
Peripheral vision is well developed in women. In some of them, it reaches 180º, and that is why women rarely miss side impacts while driving a car and can, without turning their heads, "count" a rival or follow a child.
The man's brain provides tunnel vision, he "leads" the target and sees only what is in front of him, without being distracted by trifles.
Flexibility
Women are genetically more flexible than men. This is due to the reproductive function of women - their ligaments and muscles have more elastin than collagen. This happens because the female body produces much more of the substance hyaluranidase, which is responsible for the production of elastin.
Defense mechanisms work well
Scientists have found another explanation for female toxicosis during pregnancy. Professors Paul Sherman and Samuel Flexman of the University of Colorado said morning sickness and headaches are the result of a defense mechanism that keeps the fetus free from harmful toxins found in meat, fish and poultry. This explains the fact that toxicosis is a frequent occurrence in the early stages of pregnancy, when the fetus is most vulnerable. In addition, according to a study published in the Quantity Review of Biology, women who suffer from internal malaise are much less likely to miscarry than others.
Thinner hear
Women are better at distinguishing high-frequency sounds. A one-week-old girl can already distinguish the sound of the mother's voice and hears when another baby is crying. Boys don't need that. Also, women are better than men at recognizing changes in tone and therefore know perfectly well when men are lying.
Sensitive skin
A woman's skin is 10 times more sensitive than a man's. Studies by British scientists have shown that even the most sensitive man in this sense does not reach the most insensitive woman.
Strong immunity
It is inappropriate to call the female sex weak, if only because of the developed immunity, which will give a head start to the male. Two X chromosomes mean women have more microRNAs, which strengthens the immune system and reduces the risk of cancer, according to researchers at the University of Ghent. In addition, the hormone estrogen inhibits inflammation, according to Maya Saleh, M. D. of McGill University. Developed immunity also slows down aging - women are known to live longer.
Good sense of danger
Women sense and recognize danger much better than men. And all because, they are responsible not only for themselves, but also for the future of the race. Japanese researchers from Kyoto University Nobuo Masataka and Masashiro Nabasaki conducted an experiment asking a group of men and women at different ages to detect a potential threat in a photograph (a snake was hiding in the middle of the image of the field). As a result, the fairer sex at reproductive age was the fastest to find a barely noticeable snake.
Scientists believe that this is due to increased levels of the hormones progesterone, cortisol and estradiol, especially during ovulation, which increase a woman's feelings of anxiety and, as a result, a sense of danger. In general, this makes sense - nature did not provide for pregnancy tests, it sharpened the female instincts for the period when a woman can become a continuer of the family.
