The debate still rages: are the social and psychological differences between men and women conditioned by biology or by familial and social environment? This program presents the opinion of scientists who reach beyond the obvious physical differences between the sexes to others that are not as visible. We are also introduced to recent research which claims that the female and male brain are far from identical. Finally, we attempt to determine whether nature or culture makes the sexes so different.
