A study in Spain has shown that men's and women's faces are becoming more and more similar over time. In a study looking at the skulls of Portuguese and Spanish men and women they found that the craniofacial features of men and women are becoming less pronounced, therefore the differences between men and women are becoming less pronounced. The implications for this research is far reaching and profound. In a practical sense it can be used to determine whether antiquated skulls that are incomplete belong to a female or a male. While on the other hand the results could mean that sexual dimorphism is begin to decline and the intersexual differences are becoming more homogeneous. What will the future hold?
