RESUMEN
En esta publicación se describen las diferencias dimórficas sexuales observadas en los seres humanos. Ademas se intenta explicar el origen de las mismas, que se considera preferentemente hormonal en los rasgos que definen la masculinidad morfológica y psicológica. En las mujeres los rasgos dimórficos son posiblemente de origen genético, no dependientes de los determinantes hormonales. Desde allí se puede suponer que el biotipo humano original es la mujer lo que quizás tenga eventual significado biológico.
ABSTRACT
Sexual dismorphic differences observed in human are described in this publication. Attemps to explain the origin of the observed differences suggest hormonal responsability in the determination of the tracts that defines the morphological and psychological masculinity. Those tracts that characterizes morphological and psychological feminity are supposed genetics or constitutional, but no hormonal in its origin. From these observations we may support that the woman is the original human biotype maybe with a biological significance.
