Horned Humanoids?

Even disregarding the blatantly supernatural examples of demons and the like, some humanoid races in fantasy are depicted as having horns, or at least something similar to that, like bony protrusions/spikes. How might a sentient race, especially one related to humans, have evolved such traits? Besides cultural selection, what would make such traits advantageous enough to eventually pass along to the entire race?

Edit: Does anyone have any ideas as to what would cause a race of hominids to develop horns or at least something that looks the part?
