Excellent paper. The real evolutionary feedback loop in play here is sexual selection, not natural selection. Women evolved men and men evolved women. Women select for status, because that provides for better children and better care for their children. That means the chief has more wives because he has more status and resources. Half the men die because they are feeble or in adventures. Men select for fertility, hence beauty and youth. I suppose all this worked pretty well in a tribal society, but we now have a serious imbalance as a civilization. As I said above, men in jails and unchecked aggression and greed in our leaders. It is now up to the women to do a little directed social evolution to get us a more equitable civilization. I think we men have done quite well in evolving out women, so I have great faith if the future of civilization.
