sexual dimorphism in humans

Sexual dimorphism in humans refers to the physical differences between males and females beyond just reproductive organs. These differences can include size, strength, and features such as body shape, facial structure, and hair distribution. Generally, males tend to be larger and have more muscle mass, while females typically have a higher percentage of body fat, broader hips, and different facial contours. These traits have evolved over time through natural selection and can also be influenced by cultural and environmental factors. Understanding these differences helps in fields such as medicine, anthropology, and psychology.
