I have read quite a lot about psychology, sociology, biology and the
sciences in between (sociobiology).

The topic is very complex and discussing such a topic on a mailing list
is IMHO inappropriate. If you're really interested in that kind of
stuff, I can highly recommend "Why men don't listen and women can't read
maps" by Barbara and Allan Pease. It is written in an understandable
language for people without scientific background and non-native
speakers.
