Question 14

Marcus is writing an article for a popular science website about how evolutionary forces shape human mating strategies. He wants to design an infographic to accompany his text.

His editor suggests that the infographic must include:

  • a reference to sexual selection (such as inter-sexual or intra-sexual selection)
  • a visual diagram representing differences in parental investment or gamete characteristics
  • an explanation of how these behaviors relate to reproductive success
  • evidence from a classic empirical research study.

Describe what Marcus should include in his infographic to explain how evolution and selection account for human partner preferences.
