* [[Life history|Slow-life strategy]] inherited from the parents thus potentially accompanied by an overall sex-negativity and high achievement expectations. Slow LH types are often [[volcel]]s. Slow LH may be related to adaptations for (late) [[arranged marriage]] as a stable bond of marriage enables investment in the offspring. Hence slow LH [[volceldom]] may eventually turn into [[inceldom]], if marriage never occurs. | * [[Life history|Slow-life strategy]] inherited from the parents thus potentially accompanied by an overall sex-negativity and high achievement expectations.
