I was amused to learn the other day that women have better peripheral vision than men. The more I think about it, the more it makes sense. Women have always lacked the capacity for intense focus, yet their multi-tasking skills (ironing, hoovering, nattering, watching TV) are second to none. Peripheral vision is an important part of effective multi-tasking; the ability to spot a discarded badmington racket from a hundred yards in poor visibility is not.
