Abstract
This paper suggests that sex differences in the behavior of children exist but are not necessarily intensified under certain cultural conditions. Under conditions of culture change to a sedentary economy, certain elements of male and female differentiated behavior are exploited in the process of increasing sex differentiation.

The evidence from primates suggests the possibility that, even though the sex difference in fearfulness takes the reverse direction in this order from that in rodents, oestrogen continues to exert an antagonistic action on fear.

This article defends the view of inherent somatic sexuality organizing man's psychosexual development by reviewing man's place on the evolutionary continuum, and the broad base of sexual behavior within this discussion must be considered.

Human local populations differ in the extent to which social relationships are diffused over large areas or are condensed into semi‐discrete clusters, reflected in the amounts of local genetic variability, of dialect variability, and in stylistic variability of archaeological remains over the area.

It is proposed that the sex difference in aggressiveness arises out of the role played by the male in the establishment of dominance hierarchies and has remained essentially unchanged during mammalian evolution.

The !Kung appear to be crowded by choice, and biological indicators of stress are absent, and data indicate that residential crowding alone does not produce symptoms of pathological stress.

There were no indications of sex differences in the infants' behavior to support the concept that differential development of independence is a function of the infant's instigation, however, males appeared to be responsive to their independence by becoming more interactive with the environment.
