The height example wasn't even the point. It's just the tip of the iceberg. There are countless examples of differences that can be most plausibly explained by sexual selection.

I’m like 90% with you but I still feel like you you’re not giving enough deference to my point that the seemingly most plausible theories often don’t hold up under the strict scrutiny of science.
What you’re describing is almost identical to what Richard Dawkins theorized. And Desmond Morris for that matter. I like that stuff and think it’s important to understand and I’ve read The Naked Ape, The Blind Watchmaker, The Selfish Gene, and a couple others by Dawkins.
But it’s also, like I said, important to see what EO Wilson has to say on the matter.
Sorry for the braggadocio litany on what I’ve read (all pop science anyway really)
It’s just that when you get into the specifics of men are like this because... and women are like this because... just because it makes good sense doesn’t mean it pans out. I know I said I’d drop it but I guess you pulled me back in for one more try.
