Now you see them, and now you don't: An evolutionarily informed model of environmental influences on human sex differences.

Neuroscience and biobehavioral reviews - 1 Jun 2021

Geary David C

Abstract excerpt

The contributions of evolutionary processes to human sex differences are vigorously debated. One counterargument is that the magnitude of many sex differences fluctuates from one context to the next, implying an environment origin. Sexual selection provides a framework for integrating evolutionary processes and environmental influences on the origin and magnitude of sex differences. The dynamics of sexual...
