why do boys typically grow taller than girls?
In: Biology
It’s called sexual dimorphism- when there is a physical difference between the males and females of a species. In humans, it typically means that men may be taller and built slightly differently than women. In birds, it may mean that one gender is brighter colored to attract a mate while the other is more muted colors to blend in better while nesting. It’s pretty neat, you can google it to learn more and see more specific examples of it within different species!
