If lower sounds carry (I think they do moreson that high?) then the pitch difference is probably based on millenia of signalling to other people whilst hunting.
We have lower tones because our voice box's are larger, the sound isn't pushed out as quickly enough so it comes out lower. Whereas women having a smaller voice box can push the sound out quicker and higher, which may explain why they can say over two hundred words in less than a minute.
Thats basically it, I probably haven't explained it right, I'm sure Isherwood will be along soon to correct me .
