This correlation between facial morphology and climatic conditions might indicate that facial sexual dimorphism in African tropical and subtropical populations is reduced due to morphological adaptation to climate. Populations with greater sex differences in body size would tend to also have higher levels of facial dimorphism due to allometry. One relevant question is whether these differences in facial dimorphism could be derived from sex differences in body height. People of European origin and South Americans showed a higher level of sexual dimorphism in facial shape compared to people of African origin. Accordingly, body size is strongly related to facial dimorphism in the Brazilian and Colombian samples, while non-allometric variation in SShD contributes to sexual dimorphism especially in the Czech, Turkish, and Colombian samples.The trajectory analysis (see Fig. 2) revealed that PC1 mostly captures the variation between population samples with European samples on the right and African samples on the left, while PC2 allows faces to align along the sexual dimorphism axis. This vector method, i.e. using group averages to define an axis of morphological differences between men and women, has been applied in numerous previous studies on human sexual dimorphism20,66,74,75,76. Facial morphology is affected by overall body size45,46,47,48, which is also sexually dimorphic and thus influences the perception of various social traits. According to this second view, masculine traits should be preferred only in developed societies with resource richness, and there should be no association between sexual dimorphism and attractiveness in traditional societies exposed to a relatively harsh environment. Testosterone-dependent traits, such as male secondary sexual characters, are thus posited to signal health and physical fitness because only high-quality individuals can develop them16,17,18. While some sexually dimorphic facial traits are mediated by prenatal exposure to sex hormones7, dimorphism reaches full expression after puberty, due to the influence of androgens and estrogens8,9.

High exposure to estrogen-like chemicals may also affect testosterone levels. A 2019 study involving 2,295 teenage boys and men found that impaired sleep could be linked to lower levels of testosterone. Other research suggests that several herbal supplements could also help support healthy testosterone levels, including saw palmetto, ginger, and ashwagandha.
