The experimenters, whose results were published in the journal Infant and Child Development this month, put 101 girls and boys between the ages of 9 and 32 months in a nursery with a variety of toys and observed which ones the children seemed to play with more.The idea that we are substantially pre-programmed by evolution via instinct is anathema to SJWs, who would prefer everything be learned, nothing be "hard-wired." Sorry, folks, we don't always get our "druthers."
Our findings of sex differences in toy choice in the 9 to 17 months age group add some weight to the suggestion that such preferences appear prior to extensive socialization and do not depend on gender category knowledge but are reflections of our biological heritage.

Evidence of Biological Programming
It's bad news for SJWs who see all gender-related phenomena as learned behavior. The New York Post reports study results which show quite young children (9-17 months) have already developed gender-related preferences for toys associated with their biological sex.
