Female Domination
Male domination is common among primates including monkeys. But when the number of males increases, females become more strong and dominant. According to researchers, this new finding could true with humans. Male primates are usually larger than females, and it is easier for them to be stronger. But there are times where females dominate, for instance lemurs in Madagascar and macaques.
Findings support that these females are not larger than males, but they dominate due to odds. Chances of wining a fight by a female increases when male aggression is more intense and more males are defeated by other males. Therefore high-ranking females may be victorious over these losers. When females win a fight by chance, they grow more confident and win more fights, and eventually they dominate.

Humans Can Predict The Growler’s Body Size
Few animal listeners do not get the basic ‘back off’ message of a dog growl. A study done by Anna Taylor and her colleagues, states that the depth of the growl provides humans with the greatest cue. According to the study humans are “hardwired” to predict body size of the formants. We are better at predicting the body size of dogs than the body size of other humans by using vocalizations as the clue.
