Abstract: Objective To discuss the sexual dimorphism of the related variables of scapulas and humeri. Method Fifteen variables of scapulas and humeri of the twenty-six adult Macaca mulatta (female 16, male 10) in Taihang Mountains were measured and carried out SPSS 11.0 One-Way ANOVA, Bivariate correlations and allometry analysis. Result (1) there are nine variables which had statistically significance in sexual dimorphism; (2) the results of bivariate correlations and allometry analysis showed that the variables of sexual difference had different correlation with weight; It was found that the variables that were non-significantly or negatively correlated with weight corresponded to negative allometry(b<l.00),and that were significantly or highly significantly correlated with weight corresponded to positive allometry(b>l.00). Conclusion The sex dimorphism of the adult Macaca mulatta in Taihang Mountains are related to the times of sexual maturation, growing rates, living manners and movement behaviors.
