DESCRIPTION:Why do boys more often suffer more from early onset neurodevel
 opmental and behavioural problems\, and girls from adolescent onset emotio
 nal disorders? The prevailing view is that this is because boys are expose
 d to more early risks and girls to later ones\, and not because the risks 
 or mechanisms are different across the sexes. Many animal and human studie
 s point in a different direction\, and so do evolutionary hypotheses. I wi
 ll discuss how the ‘Sex Biased Parental Investment’ and the ‘Predict
 ive Adaptive Response’ hypotheses jointly imply very different mechanism
 s in males and females\, and illustrate with recent findings from our long
 itudinal study. I will bring out the clinical and NHS planning implication
 s if these results are robust. If there is time I will briefly outline my 
 domains theory of social interactions\, with its evolutionary origins\, an
 d therapeutic implications.\n Please register to attend: "eventbrite":http
