Ever wonder why some men think they have a biological right to yell at women, as evidenced by a bunch of sweaty howling dudes at the Benghazi hearing? It's possible the yelling and rudeness may not be entirely their fault. Humans share about 90% of our genetic code with our genetic cousins, and it very well could be that that males yelling at women may be hard wired into some males genetic code. OTOH, some of us don't feel compelled to yell at, insult, or be rude to women...
Loud calls mean smaller balls in howler monkeys

The next time a male calls out to you on the street, you can rest easy knowing that he’s just trying to compensate for something. According to a report from Phys.org, catcalling may not just be a human trait. A recent study shows that howler monkeys, which weigh roughly seven kilograms, produce a loud, guttural wail to attract mates. The loudest ones, however, are the ones that produce the least sperm.

I'm not a scientist but according to a couple of snippets from http://phys.org/news/2012-11-humans-chimpanzees-monkeys-dna-gene.html,
"Humans share over 90% of their DNA with their primate cousins. The expression or activity patterns of genes differ across species in ways that help explain each species' distinct biology and behavior."
"In all three species, Dr. Gilad's lab found that transcription factor binding and histone modifications were identical in over 67% of regulatory elements in DNA segments that are regarded as promoter regions."
And-----and there may be a physiological reason why Trey Gowdy was sweating profusely at the Benghazi Hearing while Hillary Clinton was cool, calm and collected.
