摘要

Is sexual selection a well-established and natural evolutionary process, as neo-evolutionist theories claim? This paper evaluates reproductive fitness from body height; taller men are not in every space-time more successful, from a reproductive point of view, than shorter men. Height is not universally related to reproductive success; cultural factors interfere in this process.
