Nuestros cerebros son mucho más similares en cuanto a género que los cerebros de nuestros parientes más cercanos: los chimpancés y los gorilas. Sin embargo, en simios de menor parentesco, también se dan casos de monogamia y de sexos similares. […]

[…] Understanding Sex Differences in Humans: What do we learn from nature? – Maybe we should look at the great apes only and forget the gibbons and siamangs. OK, when we do that, we are looking at orangs, gorillas, chimps, and bonobos. Orangs have a very high level of sexual dimorphism, are primarily vegetarian, and the most … […]

On the paradigm of money as status, I think of this as an attempt at honest signaling of the ability to provide for a mate and offspring. I’m not saying it’s right or justified, but that’s the background that I think it most likely arises from.

Also do you recall the study reported about 18 months ago on arousal and aggression in mice? It involved optogenetic controls which were fascinating in their own right. It seems like these behavioral paths are physically adjacent in some brains, and I speculate that it is because there are reproductive benefits to linking arousal and aggression.

I think about this a lot in terms of “rape culture”. I don’t think culture is the root cause of rape, even if it offers possible solutions. It seems like any attempt to study a biological underpinning is taken as an attempt to excuse the behavior, and it is a dangerous line of study.
