Abstract

When assuming a species-typical tripodal posture, female Mongolian gerbils most often rest on their left forepaws and hold their right forelimbs aloft; male gerbils most often do the reverse. This experiment examined effects of gonadectomy, both in infancy and in adulthood, on the sexually dimorphic asymmetry in forelimb use by Mongolian gerbils when maintaining a tripodal stance. In adulthood, both male and female gerbils that had been gonadectomized at birth reversed their forelimb use while in a tripodal stance: Gonadectomized males used their forelimbs as did sham-operated females, and gonadectomized females used their forelimbs as did sham-operated males. Gonadectomy in adulthood abolished the sexual dimorphism in forelimb use seen in sham-operated subjects. It was concluded that gonadal hormones have organizational as well as possible activational effects on adult patterns of forelimb use by gerbils

Abstract

Geary believes that the notion of "gender roles" cannot adequately explain the differences between the sexes and argues that Darwin's theory of sexual selection is the best vehicle for studying how men and women pursue one of life's most fundamental goals--survival through reproduction. (APA)
