The difference in size between males and females and the presence of copious fat stores in human females are examples of what? Explain.
What will be an ideal response?
These are examples of sexual dimorphism. The more anatomically different males and females of one species are, the more sexual dimorphism is present in that species. Sexual dimorphism is especially pronounced in species that face harsh sexual competition. Characteristic traits evolve to become more attractive to the opposite sex. In species that don’t face harsh sexual competition, sexual dimorphism is less pronounced because traits that enhance one’s chances for attracting a mate are of less importance. Clearly, since there is pronounced sexual dimorphism in humans, there is also relatively harsh sexual
competition.
