Document Summary
Sex: a person"s biological identity, chromosomes, physical identity and hormones. Gender: a person"s social and cultural identity. 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. Both sexes have about the same about of children (3. 6) Variance in women is 3. 9, men 12. 1. Some women can"t have any due to infertility issues. Big difference in reproduction between men and women. Most societies (84. 4%) that allow men to have more than one wife. Only half a percent allows women to have more than one husband. The more wives a man has the greater amount of reproducibility. The world record for having the most number of children officially recorded is 69 by the first of two wives of feodor vassilyev (1707-1782), a peasant from shuya, 150 miles east of moscow.
