Description

Steve Moxon explores the underlying causes of sex differences in human sociality, arguing that they stem from biological principles related to gene copying and genetic filtering.

The author proposes that the male's role is crucial in solving the problem of mistakes accumulating in genes, leading to a hierarchy where males compete with each other. In contrast, females carefully select dominant males and pair-bonding serves to exclude lower-ranked individuals, ensuring genetic mutations are purged from the gene pool.

Moxon suggests that this sex dichotomy is complementary, with both sexes playing equal importance in a symbiotic relationship. Understanding these biological principles can help explain why female grouping is tight and exclusionary, while males group inclusively.
