Human female exogamy is supported by cross-species comparisons: Cause to recognise sex differences in societal policy?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 October 2009
Abstract
A sex difference in the tendency to outbreed (female exogamy) is a premise for the target article's proposed framework, which receives some support by being shared with chimpanzees but not with more distantly related primates. Further empirical support is provided, and it is suggested that recognition of sex differences might improve effective fairness, taking sexual assault as a case in point.
