Sex is a fundamental feature of biology, and its great importance for virtually all species is reflected by striking anatomical, physiological and behavioural sex differences that have evolved through sexual selection. In our own species, secondary sexual characteristics have enormous influence on our psychology and social identity. Less obvious but equally dramatic sex differences exist in virtually all cells and organ systems. The role of these biological sex differences in shaping gender in humans has been debated extensively, but there is little scientific study of this topic.

性是生物学的一个基本特征，它对几乎所有物种的重要性都反映在通过性选择进化而来的惊人的解剖学、生理学和行为学性别差异上。在我们自己的物种中，第二性征对我们的心理和社会认同有着巨大的影响。几乎所有的细胞和器官系统都存在不那么明显但同样显著的性别差异。这些生物性别差异在塑造人类性别中的作用已经被广泛讨论，但很少有科学研究这个话题。
