First, she seeks to understand adaptive developmental plasticity in sex-typical traits by studying the emergence of these traits during puberty and adolescence. In other words, how does the unfolding of development in boys and girls respond adaptively to social, ecological, and cultural inputs from the environment?<\/p>\n The second thread of her work emphasizes the evolutionary origins of sex\/gender differences. She uses laboratory-based methods to test theories about the role of intra- and intersexual selection on the origins of sexually dimorphic vocal characteristics in humans.<\/p>\n Hodges-Simeon, C.R.,<\/span><\/b>\u00a0Weinberg, S., Albert, G., Gurven, M., & Gaulin, S.J.C.\u00a0(2021).\u00a0Is male facial width-to-height ratio (fWHR) a product of sexual selection?
