Puts (2010) summarized analyses of food gathering and hunting in foraging societies. In all societies studied, the men produced much more meat and used it to gain mating opportunities and to invest in mates and the offspring. This investment in parenting likely depended on their paternity confidence. | Puts (2010) summarized analyses of food gathering and hunting in foraging societies.

The overall male-to-female sex ratio of calories production is around 2. What is more, meat is more digestible and has better nutritious values and higher quality than foods gathered from the ground or picked from trees and plants. This may explain in part, why [[Scientific Blackpill#Vegetarian_men_are_less_attractive.2C_likable.2C_and_masculine_to_women_than_omnivorous_men|women prefer carnivore men over vegetarians]]. | The overall male-to-female sex ratio of calories production is around 2. Kaplan (2000) found that across 10 hunter-gatherer societies, men produced on average 3988 cal of meat per day, women only 37 (Table 2), so men produced roughly 100 times more meat.

* While men contribute far less parental care than women do across societies (Hewlett, [https://books.google.com/books?hl=en&lr=&id=etwzDwAAQBAJ&oi=fnd&pg=PT184&dq=Husband-wife+reciprocity+and+the+father-infantrelationship+among+Aka+pygmies&ots=ncTySadApw#v=onepage&q=Husband-wife%20reciprocity%20and%20the%20father-infantrelationship%20among%20Aka%20pygmies&f=false 1992]), men protect mates and offspring from predators and other men, and can provide high quality food through hunting. Men procure more food (in kcal) than women do in foraging societies, far more than they consume (Kaplan et al., [http://radicalanthropologygroup.org/sites/default/files/pdf/class_text_066.pdf 2000]). In contemporary foragers,men use meat to obtain mating opportunities (Hawkes, [http://content.csbs.utah.edu/~hawkes/Hawkes91showingOff.pdf 1991]) and to invest in current mates and offspring (Kaplan et al., [http://radicalanthropologygroup.org/sites/default/files/pdf/class_text_066.pdf 2000]; Marlowe, [https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/A-critical-period-for-provisioning-by-Hadza-men-Marlowe/f2fffab062fe260902e6ac7cc42984f4c8e815c1 2003]), and meat probably served this dual function over human evolution. The proportion of a man’s resources channeled toward parenting likely depended on his paternity confidence (Anderson, Kaplan, Lam, & Lancaster, [https://www.unm.edu/~jlancas/AndersonKaplanLamLancaster_1999_Fathers+StepfathersXhosa.pdf 1999]; Anderson, Kaplan, & Lancaster, [http://www.unm.edu/~hkaplan/AndersonKaplanLancaster_1999_Fathers%2BStepfathersAlbuquerque.pdf 1999], [https://s3.amazonaws.com/academia.edu.documents/46603791/Confidence_of_paternity_divorce_and_inve20160618-6894-16z6c20.pdf?response-content-disposition=inline%3B%20filename%3DConfidence_of_paternity_divorce_and_inve.pdf&X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Credential=AKIAIWOWYYGZ2Y53UL3A%2F20191126%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20191126T105158Z&X-Amz-Expires=3600&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&X-Amz-Signature=8cb399f429231bea2570370d0e269a23f7c89fdbca9f7257147af0a08025bc22 2007]).
