Why are male and female bodies different?
The differences between the sexes in body composition are well known: males typically have proportionately more muscle mass, more bone mass, and a lower percentage of body fat than women.
What’s the difference between male and female body parts?
MALE BONES ARE BIGGER AND STRONGER, in both size and density. Peak male bone mass is around 50\% more than women’s, and women lose bone faster as we age. Black people have significantly stronger bones than whites: black women’s peak bone mass is the same as white men’s. WOMEN AND MEN HAVE THE SAME NUMBER OF RIBS.
How can you tell the difference between male and female animals?
Colors or ornaments (like wattles, antlers, etc.) can be used to tell the differences between males and females. These are phenotypic ( pheno = observed and type = characteristic) differences; they make the two animals look different, not just be of different size.
Are there behavioral differences between men and women?
Halpern and others have cataloged plenty of human behavioral differences. “These findings have all been replicated,” she says. Women excel in several measures of verbal ability — pretty much all of them, except for verbal analogies. Women’s reading comprehension and writing ability consistently exceed that of men, on average.
Do women have different verbal abilities than men?
Women excel in several measures of verbal ability — pretty much all of them, except for verbal analogies. Women’s reading comprehension and writing ability consistently exceed that of men, on average. They outperform men in tests of fine-motor coordination and perceptual speed. They’re more adept at retrieving information from long-term memory.
What is the difference between male and female androgens?
With less regulating protein, the androgens are free to strongly masculinize both the tissues and the behaviors of the females. They are bigger, stronger, and more aggressive than the males. This, along with their external reproductive organs looking so similar to males makes them a complete exception in the mammals.
