Sensory Exploitation, Sexual Dimorphism, and Human Voice Pitch.

David R Feinberg1, Benedict C Jones2, Marie M Armstrong3.   

Abstract

Selection for low male voice pitch is generally assumed to occur because it is a valid cue of formidability. Here we summarize recent empirical challenges to this hypothesis. We also outline an alternative account in which selection for low male voice pitch is a byproduct of sensory exploitation.
