Differences in behaviour of boys and girls - nature or nurture?

Following on from another thread:

*Boys have a greater need to move
*Girls are more well behaved
*Houses with girls are quieter than boys.
*Girls language skills develop faster than boys due to boys testosterone

Is this down to social conditioning (subtle or overt)?
Or is it hormones and nature that make boys and girls different?
What about children who deviate from the norm (girls who act like boys and vice versa - and how do know when a girl is acting like a boy?)

Or is it all ridiculous and there is no differences at all?

Just a few questions to start a (hopefully) very interesting discussion...
