Introduction The evolution of monogamy in humans is commonly argued to have been driven by the need for paternal investment reviewed in ref. Why do men care? Why do men pairbond? Figure 1: Schematic of the model with all strategies represented. Full size image. Figure 2: Evolutionary dynamics of the three male mating strategies under a female-biased sex ratio. Figure 3: Evolutionary dynamics of the three male mating strategies under a male-biased sex ratio. Discussion Here we are interested in exploring possible pathways for the evolution of monogamy and paternal care in our lineage.
