Sexual dimorphism in primate evolution. | Semantic Scholar

A phylogenetic reconstruction of the evolution ofDimorphism, including fossil hominins, indicates that the modern human condition is derived, and suggests that at least some behavioral similarities with Pan associated with dimorphism may have arisen independently, and not directly from a common ancestor.

Results of this comparative analysis of sexual size dimorphism and sexual selection intensity in primates suggest that the use of intramale sexual selection theory to explain the evolution of polygyny and sexual Dimorphism in mammals should be reviewed, and that natural selection should be considered alongside sexual selection as an evolutionary driver.
