The title of the essay is ” To what extent are these differences relevant today ?” This question is drawn from a lecture called ” Sexual Selection” given as part of a module called ” Human Evolution and Evolutionary Psychology ” in the final year of a BSc in Psychology.
Please note there are two parts to the question and they both need to be addressed: compare and contrast from an evolutionary perspective as well as the second one being comparison with nowadays.
I’ll provide lecture slides and here is a list of references recommended by the lecturer:
