[quote=Anonymous]John Hopkins researchers might say yes, while scientists from universities of Melbourne, Exeter and Tel Aviv would argue gender behavior differences can all be explained by socialization. There is no consensus in either the scientific community or general public.

Research at the Johns Hopkins Children Center has shown that gender identity is almost entirely based on nature and is almost exclusively predetermined before the birth of the baby. Two studies conducted by William Reiner, a child and adolescent psychiatrist and urologist, have confirmed that the amount of exposure to male hormones and androgens in utero almost exclusively decides whether the child identifies as masculine or feminine.

In this study a number of issues are addressed regarding the origin of gender and how it influences the life of an individual. The origin was explained using the three main theories proposed; genetics, natural selection and a person's environment. Arguments were presented in support of and against each theory accompanied by case studies, further explaining the advantages and disadvantages of accepted and controversial gender assignments. No conclusive decision was expected in this study, since there is not decisive proof that there is any one reason for gender determination in humans. Introduction:

New research has challenged the idea that ‘gender specific behaviours’—or the tendency for men to be masculine and women to be feminine—are due to our genetics. The study Sex-Linked Behaviour: Evolution, Stability, and Variability, conducted by Cordelia Fine from the University of Melbourne, John Dupré from the University of Exeter, and Daphna Joel from Tel-Aviv University, argues that our social environment allows for the transfer of some gender-specific behaviour traits between generations.
