The research they did on humans was on kids... not adults. Not sure how they could make the jump to generalizing about adult behavior from a preliminary study of just a few children.

If anything you would think having the gene they mentioned would create better language skills, not necessarily the desire to speak more.

While I will agree that in general women speak more than men, I don't see the line of causation from their study to that observation.

Women talk more because they have to keep repeating everything they say because men don't listen!

I agree with you mani, the end of the article even states that it is a key molecule for communication. We have always known women were better communicators!!

I had a customer yesterday tell me to stop talking. I had only spoken about a dozen words, but they were not the ones he wanted to hear.
