→In modern societies, men's social status accounts for 62% of the variance of copulation opportunities

To test for whether men's social status is adaptive while avoiding these patterns, he analyzed whether men's status is at least correlated with ''potential fertility'' instead of actual fertility. | To test for whether men's social status is adaptive while avoiding these patterns, he analyzed whether men's status is at least correlated with ''potential fertility'' instead of actual fertility. | ||
And indeed, he found men's status accounts for as much as 62% of the variance in potential fertility. This pattern is remarkably similar to what is found in many traditional societies, e.g. even in the most egalitarian contemporary hunter-gatherers such as the Ache and the Sharanahua, one finds that the most successful hunters have the most offspring (Cashdan, 1996). | And indeed, he found men's status accounts for as much as 62% of the variance in potential fertility.

For women, on the other hand, high status is associated with ''lower reproductive success'', and has been in history. This can likely be explained by their hypergamous instincts to avoid men of lower status than their own. | |||

---- | |||
In a very large sample (N = 73,654), Bertrand et al. (2015) examined the causes and consequences of the income gap within households. They found that within marriage markets, when a randomly chosen woman becomes more likely to earn more than a randomly chosen man, marriage rates decline. | |||
