A Theory of Sexual Selection may help to explain why men and women have different voice pitch.  Across cultures, voice pitch is used to size up the competition and choosing a relationship partner. Men with lower-pitched voices tend to have more children than do men with higher pitched voices.  Collectively, these findings suggest that Sexual Selection has played a part in the evolution of sex differences in voice pitch.

David Feinberg completed his undergraduate studies at Rutgers University in New and earned his PhD at  St.  Andrews, Scotland before completing post-doctoral research at Harvard University.  His research interests on the evolution of preferences for voices and faces has been widely reported in the media including: Time Magazine, Psychology Today, The New York Times, London Times, Globe and Mail, the Discovery Channel, and even Oprah.
