You cited a study showing that “sexual selection gives men relatively shorter upper faces for their breadth compared to females,” better stated as men have wider face for the same upper face height, where upper face height is roughly the distance between the point where the forehead meets the nose and the upper lip. You cited this find because this is how Leonardo differs from Burt. The authors (Weston et al.; Biometric Evidence that Sexual Selection Has Shaped the Hominin Face) have chosen to present their data in a poor manner, and it is misleading. Their find can be summed up in this figure showing that men have wider faces but similar upper face height compared to women. Their example contrasts a normal woman with an effeminate man. On the other hand, I have cited studies (see the feminine vs. masculine page) where masculinization makes the face shape narrower (example 1, example 2). So why the difference? The studies that I cited used European individuals whereas the Weston et al. study used Southern African populations, and I wonder if this is relevant because the Khoi-San people appear facially less sexually dimorphic than Europeans, and sexual dimorphism of individual features is not necessarily similar across populations. https://its.fh-campuswien.ac.at/hackmd/s/JnqeNil1t https://hackmd.iscpif.fr/s/rkrmhM1oxg https://hackmd.diverse-team.fr/s/rydHg-740 https://md.ccc-mannheim.de/s/SJySFt09lx http://tacheles.humanistika.org/s/rJlpebt0eg https://hackmd.astamuse.net/s/SJvV8w5ngl https://hackmd.stuve-bamberg.de/s/x-bffabI0 https://docs.snowdrift.coop/s/6vwMFFiPc https://hedgedoc.catgirl.cloud/s/I34Ez6Gd5 https://hackmd.bangumi.org/s/rkx7HZJehxl https://pad.demokratie-dialog.de/s/oVGf7S7L11 https://hackmd.stuve-bamberg.de/s/hRZ-myP9C https://craigslist-personals.eurolines.nl/ https://craigslist-personals.mijnstartonline.nl/ https://craigslist-personals.rosadoc.be/ https://craigslist-personals.de-vitrine.be/ https://craigslist-personals.velelinkjes.nl/ https://craigslist-personals.maakjestart.nl/ https://craigslist-personals.gratislinken.nl/ https://craigslist-personals.backlinkplaatsen.nl/
