    Interesting, everything I’ve read has indicated that it’s largely set due to testosterone concentration prior to the development of the gonads in utero. I’d be interested to read some of the research about the association with synaptic pruning though, if you have a couple of links? It makes sense that children would begin recognising it then, because it’s about that time they start developing a concept of self.
