Scientists say men smarter than women?

Men are more intelligent than women, new research claims.
Two leading scientists - both men - say male IQs are 3.63 points higher than females.

Psychologist John Philippe Rushton said this explains the "glass ceiling" phenomenon why men get promoted over women.

He said the study proves more men reach the top of their careers because they are smarter - and not because of sex discrimination. Prof Rushton's team analysed 100,000 aptitude tests taken by 17 and 18-year-olds of both sexes.

He also claimed that girls only did better than boys at school because they "mature faster". The professor said the results backed a similar study last year by Richard Lynn at the University of Ulster. Read the full article here.
