Ultimate and proximate influences on human sex differences
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 32 (3-4):266-267 (2009)
Abstract
We agree with Archer that human sex differences in aggression are well explained by sexual selection, but note that explanations of human behaviors are not logically mutually exclusive from explanations and therefore should not be framed as such. We discuss why this type of framing hinders the development of both social learning and evolutionary theories of human behaviorAuthor's Profile
