I notice how you neglect to mention nor address his thesis. For the section you are citing, the author stated his position is: "On average, men and women biologically differ", and used the evidence you listed to back this up. >Human universals In your criticism, you are responding to an incorrect interpretation of this term. When evolutionary biologists refer to this term, they are referencing the work of anthropologist Donald Brown, who compiled a list of traits shared among all known human cultures. He said traits on this list "comprise those features of culture, society, language, behavior, and psyche for which there are no known exception." You can read a copy of this list here http://joelvelasco.net/teaching/2890/brownlisthumanuniversals.pdf http://joelvelasco.net/teaching/2890/brownlisthumanuniversal.... Notice how this list supports his claim that "On average, men and women biologically differ". >They often have clear biological causes and links to prenatal testosterone A lot of the studies supporting this come from suffers of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH).

They're heritable because many Sex differences caused by the existence of the Y-chromosome, which is heritable. >They’re exactly what we would predict from an evolutionary psychology perspective Evolutionary psychology is the result of analyzing ecological theories observed in other animals, and applying them to humans. Ecologists have observed differences between males and females in thousands of non-human species. Why would our own species be exempt? Even today, evolution itself is still considered very controversial https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objections_to_evolution https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objections_to_evolution So far, all his claims look all right to me. They support his claim that "On average, men and women biologically differ". And evolutionary psychologists agree on this one. http://quillette.com/2017/08/07/google-memo-four-scientists-respond/ http://quillette.com/2017/08/07/google-memo-four-scientists-...
