There are inconsistent reports regarding behavioral sex differences in the human navigation
literature. This meta-analysis quantifies the overall magnitude of sex differences in large …

This article reviews the ways migration shapes human biology. This includes the
physiological and genetic, but also socio‐cultural aspects such as organization, behavior …

Understanding how gendered economic roles structure space use is critical to evolutionary
models of foraging behaviour, social organization and cognition. Here, we examine hunter …

After introducing the new field of cultural evolution, we review a growing body of empirical
evidence suggesting that culture shapes what people attend to, perceive and remember as …

In many societies, males range farther than females, and this greater environmental
experience may foster better spatial ability. Females are also reported to be more harm …

The causes of sex differences in human behaviour are contested, with 'evolutionary'and
'social'explanations often being pitted against each other in the literature. Recent work …

The Morris water maze is a spatial abilities test adapted from the animal spatial cognition
literature and has been studied in the context of sex differences in humans. This is because …

The ability to know the direction of food sources is important for the foraging success of
hunter–gatherers, especially in rainforests where dense vegetation limits visual detection …

Males in many non-monogamous species have larger ranges than females do, a sex
difference that has been well documented for decades and seems to be an aspect of male …

Navigational performance responds to navigational challenges, and both decline with age in
Western populations as older people become less mobile. But mobility does not decline …
