This only makes sense. Humans have spent the vast majority of our existence as hunter-gathers. The men hunted game while the women gathered plant-based food. In the heat of the chase men didn’t have time to orient their positions by landmarks, they had to depend on an inner sense of direction—where the sun is in the sky, etc. Women could walk—they’d have to, since they had kids in tow and plenty of time to note rocks, odd trees, etc.
Her: I am so lost.

Fixed it for ya.
Women would also develop a better memory of objects/place. Survival of the tribe was aided by remembering where various plant based food sources are located each month. So women’s memory of these was a very important suplement to men’s capacity to locate mobile objects in time and space. I think this is why men are better at algebra, whereas women may be better at geometry.
