The biomedical sciences described and visually presented a "universal model" of human being who presents the characters of men sex, white race and heterosexual behaviour.The last 15 years I achieved a critical analysis of the discourses about sexual differentiation of the brain and differential behaviours of women and men and my hypothesis is that the gender bias progress with the discourse is generalized.In the discourses about the sexual determination, the sexual differentiation and the sexual behaviour of the human beings, clearly we can observe the cultural construction of the science. The biological dichotomies manXY/womanXX and the stereotyped male/female sexual behaviours prevailed even though the scientific evidences don't support it.
