Size Matters

This common trait is our size relative to the other gender.  Typically, males are larger than females in most species, including humans.  Over the years, scientists have concluded that there is a high correlation between polygamy and size difference between genders, especially those where the male is larger than the female.  In humans, males are roughly ten per cent taller and twenty per cent heavier than females, which to make a very long story short, has led many scientists to conclude that humans have been “mildly” polygamous since we first started walking the planet.
