Human fertility variation, size-related obstetrical performance and the evolution of sexual stature dimorphism

22 Dec 2000

Abstract excerpt

In several animal species, change in sexual size dimorphism is a correlated response to selection on fecundity. In humans, different hypotheses have been proposed to explain the variation of sexual dimorphism in stature, but no consensus has yet emerged. In this paper, we evaluate from a theoretical and an empirical point of view the hypothesis that the extent of sexual dimorphism in human populations results...
