Document Summary
Sexual reproduction produces greater diversity, parasite resistance, and reduces negative. The two sexes may not necessarily have the same reproductive interests. This can lead to divergent evolutionary adaptations, as each sex seeks to maximize its own reproductive fitness. Only one mother and one father per child. The average number of children men and women have is the same. Women at 0= have fertility problems (looking at the graph) Slightly changing because of all the pollution in the air (men tend to be more infertile) Tells us that some men are having multiple wives (which is why there is more 0s) Men have a higher rate of variability. Vast majority of cultures allow men to have more than 1 wife. Most societies is a monogamous society but most allow men to have another wife. Therefore, there are differences among men and women. Makes a lottery for men vs. women.
