摘要：
Tan judges my target article as excellent, but expresses the view that in analyzing the longterm increases in brain size, myopia and intelligence, insufficient attention was paid to sex differences, handedness and sex hormones. I respond to some propositions advanced by Tan, and discuss these areas, including alternative interpretations for some of Tan's findings.
