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|reproductive success]]'', and has been in history. This can likely be explained by their [[hypergamy|hypergamous]] instincts to avoid men of lower status than their own. | For women, on the other hand, high status is associated with ''lower [[reproductive success|reproductive success]]'', and has been in history. This can likely be explained by their [[hypergamy|hypergamous]] instincts to avoid men of lower status than their own, but a variety of other explanations are conceivable, e.g. adaptations for [[arranged marriage]] such that 'liberated' and self-sufficient women refrain from marriage. | ||
Compared to non-primates, the correlation between male's dominance status and their [[reproductive success]] is, however, much lower in humans (r = 0.19 vs. r = 0.8; Von Rueden & Jaeggi, 2016). | |||
