Abstract

Sexual dimorphism is highly observable throughout the animal kingdom; however, it is especially emphasized in mammalian physiology and biomechanics. Sexual dimorphism is a highly advantageous strategy that allows for specialization and increases the efficiency of the family unit in their attempts at survival. Several sexually dimorphic features in Homo Sapiens are discussed, spanning from innate ability to the biomechanical features that limit behavioral expression and form stable sociobiological hierarchies that are mutually beneficial to individual survival as well as that of offspring. This paper discusses how following the biological parameters of biology allows for happier individuals, both male and female, who are more supportive of their mates and better at rearing socially and emotionally stable children.

Key words: female, male, reproduction, sexual dimorphism, sociobiology
