[...] What we evolved with is a general hability: to play with things to achieve what we need from them, (besides other abilities). The pleasure to acheve ends by using available means. [...] A tool is someting used to solve a class of problems. It does not matter if it is something phisical or conceptual. [...] The more general is a tool, the more we feel pleasure playing with it
So the adaptation you are saying men have in greater degree than women is pleasure in "tool using", broadly defined to include taming animals, debate, programming, sword play, carpentry and more? What are you attributing to men is not so much superiority of ability but greater motivation? -- Jason Dusek
