Intrasexual and intersexual selection for neck musculature in men

2021-02-06

Abstract excerpt

<p>Over 150 years ago, Darwin (1871) argued that humans evolved to inflict and resist damage in violent combat. Until now, however, no research has examined the claim that humans have evolved anatomical structures to both better inflict and resist damage in real-world agonistic exchanges. Human neck musculature has long been theoretically implicated in force output and concussion resistance capacities, and we prop...
