Actually, that is not true. Humans *can8 do two things at once: drive and listen to the radio, or anything mechanical while holding a conversation. Actually, all of the tasks that we can do “mechanically” are actually being controlled by a non-linguistic area of the brain at the same time that a more linguistic area is being utilized.You can combine any one task that requires physical activity with any task that requires linguistic consciousness.
Humans cannot *consciously* do two things at once. Those things are accomplished by switching between tasks. But humans can do things simultaneously, by utilizing different areas of the brain.
Thus, a person can both sing AND dance at the same time.
I think that on average women are genetically better at multitasking than men. Men were most importantly focused on one thing, tracking and killing game. Woman on the other hand spent much more time keeping the fire going, preparing food to eat, keeping the kids out of trouble, and looking after their husbands needs.
