Abstract
⺠Hormones can transfer between fetuses in animals affecting phenotypic development. ⺠The existence of a similar mechanism in humans remains uncertain. ⺠A review finds little evidence for masculinization of behavior due to testosterone transfer. ⺠Some evidence consistent with transfer for perception, cognition and physiology. ⺠Evidence of masculinization is typically restricted to females with a male co-twin.
