Agreed. Let the nurture crew, if they have not done so already, also subject the assertion that women have innately better verbal skills to the same level of scrutiny.
Some studies have shown that infants as young as 3 months old show gender differences in spatial skills.
I think that the truth is that small, but significant, non-socially determined discrepancies are subsequently magnified by differential socialization of the child depending on his/her gender.
