* This disparity was due chiefly to an increasingly polygynous (i.e one man hoarding many women, likely caused by the development of agriculture allowing certain men to accrue greater resources and thus political power) mating structure leading to greater competition between men for mates as compared to harsher natural selection (i.e more men dying off young before reproducing) and possibly greater levels of male immigration by conquest due to easier transportation due to the invention of the wheel, domestication of the horse, camel etc. | * This disparity was due chiefly to an increasingly polygynous (i.e one man hoarding many women, likely caused by the development of agriculture allowing certain men to accrue greater resources and thus political power) mating structure leading to greater competition between men for mates as compared to harsher natural selection (i.e more men dying off young before reproducing) and possibly greater levels of male immigration by conquest due to easier transportation due to the invention of the wheel, domestication of the horse, camel etc. | ||
