Sexual dimorphism exists in all races, but it is highest in Europeans and Inuits and lowest in Africans. Low dimorphism in Africans has been proposed to be explained by a fast/die young ecology (fast LH) favoring men who impregnate many women, hence the women are more likely left alone and hence need to exhibit male characteristics like physical dominance and dependability.{{citation needed}} | Sexual dimorphism exists in all races, but it is highest in Europeans and Inuits and lowest in Africans.

There are racial differences in sexually dimorphic beauty which may explain racist emotions to some extent because subtle facial dissimilarities may violate the sensitive criteria that have evolved divergently in each race in sexual feedback loops, causing us to perceive some features of other races as ugly. | There are racial differences in sexually dimorphic beauty which may explain racist emotions to some extent because subtle facial dissimilarities may violate the sensitive criteria that have evolved divergently in each race in sexual feedback loops, causing us to perceive some features of other races as ugly. | ||
