High levels of testosterone in our ancient human ancestors may have prevented them from producing art, according to a new study in Current Anthropology reported upon by the Telegraph. The study found that culture and technology began to develop around 50,000 years ago and was spurred by a relatively sudden reduction of testosterone-related traits in human skeletal remains.

The drop in humans’ levels of the hormone caused them to become less aggressive, according to the study. They were thus more readily able to live together in larger groups. That increased collectivity seems to have marked the start of artistic expression and the development of tools and increasingly complex methods of food collection and fire maintenance.

Was this driven by a brain mutation, cooked foods, the advent of language or just population density?”

Dr Hare and his colleagues argue that human society advanced when people started being nicer to each other, which entails having a little less testosterone in action.

“If prehistoric people began living closer together and passing down new technologies, they’d have to be tolerant of each other. The key to our success is the ability to cooperate and get along and learn from one another,” said Robert Cieri, a student at the University of Utah and the first author on the study published in the journal Current Anthropology.

In their study, the scientists compared the brow ridge, facial shape and interior volume of 13 modern human skulls older than 80,000 years, 41 skulls from 10,000 to 38,000 years ago, and a global sample of 1,367 20th century skulls from 30 different ethnic populations.

Summary: Testosterone makes us overvalue our own opinions at the expense of cooperation, new research has found. Higher levels of testosterone were associated with individuals behaving egocentrically

A new study reveals why there's such a strong association between increased testosterone levels and anti-social behavior.

n. After testosterone or placebo gel administration, participants performed a social discounting task in which they chose between selfish options (benefiting only the participant) and generous options (providing also some benefit to another person at a particular social distance). At the behavioral level, testosterone reduced generosity compared to the placebo.
Furthermore, testosterone weakened the relation between the other-regarding value of generous decisions
