Sex differences in music perception are negligible

2023-05-24

Abstract excerpt

Since Darwin 1 , researchers have proposed that human musicality evolved in a reproductive context in which males produce music to signal their mate quality to females. Sexually selected traits involve tradeoffs in the costs of high-quality signal production and high-fidelity signal detection 2 , leading to observable sexual dimorphisms across many species 3,4 . If musicality is a sexually selected trait in hum...
