Adult male humans generally have deeper voices than do adult female humans, which is the direct result of higher levels of testosterone causing growth of the larynx. If the fossil records ofapes and humans alike show a trend toward decreasing larynx size in adult females and increasing larynx size in adult males, then

  2. intrasexual selection seems to have occurred in both species

  3. stabilizing selection was occurring in these species concerning larynx size
