Recientemente, varios libros de divulgación sobre las diferencias de género han recurrido a la literatura neurocientífica para respaldar la afirmación de que ciertas diferencias psicológicas entre los sexos son parte de nuestro “cableado” cerebral. Este artículo subraya algunas de las implicaciones éticas que surgen de los errores tanto fácticos como conceptuales propagados por tales libros. Abstract A number of recent popular books about gender differences have drawn on the neuroscientific literature to support the claim that certain psychological differences between the sexes are “hard-wired”. This article highlights some of the ethical implications that arise from both factual and conceptual errors propagated by such books. Keywords gender difference | neuroscience | popular science
