Summary:Is your brain wired to think like a man or a woman? Are females really more talkative, men less emotional? And what does the ratio between the length of your 2nd and 4th fingers have to do with it? We might have been conditioned to think that men and women are the same but as this series reveals, we are utterly, fundamentally different. And we've been destined to be so since the dawn of our species. Not only that, but not all men have male brains nor women female brains: 'body sex' and 'brain sex' are not the same thing. In three vivid, intriguing episodes, covering six major areas of sex difference - emotional recognition, empathy, communication, basic cognition, competition, and brain anatomy - science is put to the test with real people leading real lives. The result is an often hilarious, sometimes provocative and always informative and entertaining journey, destroying myths and uncovering startling new truths about what defines the genders. Discover how a little confidence can go a long way in companion series, How to Get Lucky. Men and women are just the same. Just as caring, just as promiscuous, just as good at a three point turn. Aren't they? The results of a new BBC sex survey of 500,000 people from around the globe - the largest ever carried out - provide very revealing answers. And five men and five women are put through a unique battery of experiments to uncover the real differences between the sexes. Engineer Lloyd finds out what's missing in him. Bickering couple Liz and Craig squabble over who's the most empathic - until a stunning brain scan settles the argument. And in a television first we reveal the true effects of sex hormones on the brain by following 29-year-old Max as, under the influence of monthly testosterone injections, she turns from a woman into a man.
