damn i didn't think of that. Yeah.

no it wouldn't have. gender dimorphism didn't happen in humans until civilization (i.e. before that men and women were equal size). it was sexual selection in cities and specialized labor that made men big and women smaller.

This talks about how cavewomen hunted probably equal to men. At a Neolithic hunter burial site they could identify 41% of the skeletons as women. Some I think they couldn't tell one way or the other.

I wonder about it more often than you'd think, actually.

Like, about once a week.

For some reason cave people sex is fascinating to me. Was it full blown rape all the time? Did the women want it? How'd they go about courting? Fascinating.

Those articles are saying that the gender roles were roughly equal, not that there wasnt sexual dimorphism

Edit: those were very interesting articles, the sexual dimorphism issue aside.

The general consensus is that sexual dimorphism was more pronounced with early human ancestors, as it is for non-human primates and that its something that early humans lost over time, as opposed to developed recently as youve suggest.

I dont have a horse in this race and am quite prepared to admit Im wrong - it just goes against everything Ive read previously.

Well...things like choking, restraint, and more violent temperaments during sex being popular and common kinks in today's world should be a pretty good indicator of what's....leftover, for a lack of better terms, from our more primordial days

Having equal size skeletons doesn't really mean "equal size" hormonal differences would have still resulted in cave men being bulkier / stronger than cave women.

Well, moreso it suggests that early ancestors like Australopithecus displayed higher levels of sexual dimorphism than more modern hominid species.

One body size article:
Penn State. "Not much size difference between male and female Australopithecines." ScienceDaily. ScienceDaily, 28 April 2015. <www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/04/150428151512.htm>.

Another behind a paywall, but you can read first page:
https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.1086/667605?seq=1#metadata_info_tab_contents

it's important to note that the author seems to take sexual dimorphism for granted, which is strange, but admits the range of dimorphism is Homo erectus is equal to or less than modern humans...

Walking with Cavemen also mentions this concept.

In any case, the gender roles stuff still shoots down the idea that rape would have been super-common in the past.

Perascamin posted...

You'd be wrong, Neanderthals were highly advanced. Plenty of animals also ask for consent. Penguins, for example. Also, male lizards have to attract and impress a female.

I was a while in writing that post and reading some more stuff.

Even in modern humans, the fact that men are "stronger" than women is 90% social construct. women are literally scared away from working out too much and "getting too big." sure testosterone or whatever, but if you ever go to the gym you know there is nothing stopping girls from getting ripped except societal standards.

think about the varsity girls in high school, they could kick most people's ass.

I've worked out with women as workout partners and inevitably they are lifting as much as me in many areas in just as much time as it would take a guy.

Anyway the Penn State article talks about how it was previously thought that levels of dimorphism were high (that's why you guys are finding so much stuff about that, this new research is only 7 years old).

"Previous convention in the field was that there were high levels of dimorphism in the Australopithecus afarensis population," said Philip Reno, assistant professor of anthropology, Penn State. "Males were thought to be much larger than females."

[...]

The article goes on, but it talks about how the statistical methodology used in the past was wrong, with Lucy being assumed to be a typical sample, and thus counted many times in most calculations (specifically in the past when there were less available samples). The new study just counts every sample that we have once.

edit: to therefore discover that dimorphism was less in the past and has increased with time, rather than the inverse, or staying stable.

Don't have time for research, but something like 90% of males are stronger than 90% of females. Even without working out, most men are stronger than even moderately fit women.

"Early Men and Women were equal size"

The article you link doesn't say anything about size at all. It's about social structures, specifically how how men and women had similar hunter-gatherer roles. Where the heck did you get "equal size" from?

Robot2600 posted...
www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/04/150428151512.htm

Lucy and other members of the early hominid species Australopithecus afarensis probably were similar to humans in the size difference between males and females, according to new research.

Are you trying to do a thing?

Penguins and lizards rape, too. Heck, dolphins are among the smartest animals, and they're... uncomfortably comfortable about rape.

An animal can force another animal that doesn't want to have sex to have sex. That's rape.

A male elephant seal will sneak into a harem, rape a female, and then leave before the alpha male notices. I think theres a video on YouTube showing this.
