Abstract

Unlike some other female primates, women do not display obvious sexual swellings during the high-fertility phase of their ovulatory cycles. This simple observation has led some researchers to assume that women’s ovulatory status is completely concealed (Gangestad and Thornhill 2008). By contrast with this assumption, however, several lines of recent research suggest that women do display detectable cues of their ovulatory status, albeit ones that are considerably more subtle than those observed in some other primates.
