Actually C4, one could argue that sexual selection is currently having a greater evolutionary effect than in the past because it is no longer held back by natural selection, at least in developed societies.
Anybody want to suggest human traits that probably evolved by sexual selection? Here are some possibilities:
--many racial differences in facial features (no adaptive value, however certainly important in sexual attraction)
--sex differences in voice pitch
--sex differences in size, muscle mass, hair
--fat content in breasts in women (no adaptive value, but apparently important in sexual attraction . . . . )
