Answer 1

Answer:

Secondary Sex Characteristics in Humans

Have you ever really considered the differences between males and females in various species? If you have, you may have noticed the differences in physical traits between the two sexes. Without even realizing it, you were likely thinking about both primary and secondary characteristics.

While humans are born with very obvious primary sex characteristics (or body structures directly concerned with reproduction) that allows us to tell males from females, such as the penis in men and the vagina in women, secondary sex characteristics, on the other hand, are features which appear at puberty (though they later become equally as prominent). These secondary characteristics are features such as pubic hair, breast development in females, and beards in males. The list below shows some of these characteristic differences between human males and females. In men, these include:

More pronounced body hair characteristics (beard, chest, etc.) and usually more coarse

Heavier musculature

Angular features (i.e. square jaw, triangular mid region)

Narrow hips

Muscular pectorals (chest)

Less fat tissue overall

Deeper voice

In women, these include:

• Less pronounced body hair characteristics (mostly in pubic region, hair all over is usually finer)

• Lighter musculature

• Rounded features (i.e. softer facial features, hourglass mid-region)

• Wider hips (for child bearing)

• More pronounced breasts with more fatty tissue

• More fat tissue overall

• Higher voice
