The two opposing views the ''Good Geners'' vs ''Fisherians'' lead to significant academic rivalry since the 1990s, but the good genes hypotheses has largely been refuted since. | The two opposing views the ''Good Geners'' vs ''Fisherians'' lead to significant academic rivalry since the 1990s, but the good genes hypotheses has largely been refuted since. | ||

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 caused by a ''live fast/die young'' ecology (fast LH) favoring men whom take on multiple wives, impregnating many women, hence the women are left alone and hence need to exhibit male characteristics like physical dominance and dependability, to survive, and hence less neoteny.{{citation needed}} High dimorphism in Europeans, in contrast, may come from a ''live slow/die old'' ecology (slow LH) favoring long-term bonds and greater specialization between the sexes. The women are provided for, embrace their mother role and exhibit female characteristics such as neoteny, but also behavioral characteristics like dependence, submissiveness, irresponsiblity and neuroticism.{{citation needed}} | Sexual dimorphism exists in all races, but it is highest in Europeans and Inuits and lowest in Africans.
