Abstract
Endo-crinological, neurological, and behavioral studies are reviewed. These studies seem to indicate, though not to prove, that in the course of mammalian evolution cortical control over primitive neural mechanisms regulating sexual behavior has increased. Consequently, environment is of primary importance in the sexual behavior of higher mammals.Keywords
