Although a lot of neuroscience research has identified sexual dimorphisms in neural structures and behaviors, on average differences in ability are very small (as Damore clearly emphasized in his memo). A potential reason for the 80:20 sex distribution in engineers is that Google is effective at identifying and hiring outstanding engineers, i.e. the people at the far end of the bell-curve where there are many women, it's just that men are over-represented in that region of the histogram.
