性选择是一个完善的进化过程，基于另一种性别成员对一种性别的特定特征的偏好。它在形态特征的进化中很重要，人类的一些性别二态性特征，例如面部毛发和面部形状，被认为是这一过程的结果。在这里，我们证明，较高的男性比矮小的男性在生殖上更成功，这表明女性对男性伴侣的身高有积极的选择。
Sexual selection is a well established evolutionary process based on preferences for specific traits in one sex by members of the other sex. It is important in the evolution of morphological traits, and several sexually dimorphic traits in humans, such as facial hair and facial shape, are assumed to be the outcome of such a process. Here we demonstrate that taller men are reproductively more successful than shorter men, indicating that there is active selection for stature in male partners by women.
