SEXUAL SELECTION: MAN. 
Part U- 
In regard to the general hairyness of the body, the 
women in all races are less hairy than the men, and i" 
some few Quadrumana the under side of the body ot 
the female is less hairy than that of the male. 10 Lastly^ 
male monkeys, like men, are bolder and fiercer than 
the females. They lead the troop, and when there I s 
danger, come to the front. We thus see how close h 
the parallelism between the sexual differences of naan 
and the Quadrumana. With some few species, how- 
ever, as with certain baboons, the gorilla and orangt 
there is a considerably greater difference between the 
sexes, in the size of the canine teeth, in the develop" 
ment and colour of the hair, and especially in the 
colour of the naked parts of the skin, than in 'the case 
of mankind. 
The secondary sexual characters of man are all highly 
variable, even within the limits of the same race or 
sub-species ; and they differ much in the several races, 
these two rules generally hold good throughout the 
animal kingdom. In the excellent observations mack 
on board the Novara , n the male Australians were found 
to exceed the females by only G5 millim. in height) 
whilst with the Javanese the average excess was 21® 
millim., so that in this latter race the difference in height 
and confined Macacus eynomolgus, whose moustaches were “remarkaW.' 
long and human-like.” Altogether this old monkey presented a lndicro uS 
resemblance to one of the reigning inorinrehs of Europe, after whom n e 
was universally nick-named. In certain races of man the hair on the 
head hardly ever becomes grey; thus Mr. I>. Forbes has never seen, 
as he informs me, an instance with the Aymaras and Quichuas oi 
S. America. 
This is the ease with the females of several species of

ments made by Drs. K. Selierzer and Schwarz, see ‘ Keise der Novara : 
Anthropolog. Theil,’ 1867, s. 216, 231, 234, 236, 239, 269.
