Abstract
- Sexual selection can be more broadly defined than just competition for mates.
- Sex steroids organize sexually differentiated behaviors and related brain structures.
- Sexual differentiation involves a diversity of hormonal and genetic mechanisms.
- Sex differences can arise independently of the action of sexual selection.
- Claiming that a neural trait is a secondary sexual feature requires careful testing.
