Sexual Selection in Homo sapiens

Parental Control over Mating and the Opportunity Cost of Free Mate Choice

More about the book

Exploring the unique dynamics of sexual selection in humans, the book highlights the significant role of parental influence in mate choice, particularly in preindustrial societies where arranged marriages are common. This arrangement positions parents as a powerful force in sexual selection, as traits that make individuals more appealing as potential sons- or daughters-in-law gain reproductive advantages. The examination reveals how these traits become more prevalent within the population, offering insights into human mating patterns that differ from those of non-human species.
