The answer is "the lack of sexual dimorphism due to decreased competition for mates in a monogamous social structure".

Sexual dimorphism is the systematic distinction in shape between people of various sexes in similar species. For instance, in a few species, including numerous warm blooded creatures, the male is bigger than the female. In others, for example, a few arachnids, the female is bigger than the male.
