Journal ArticleDOI
Variation in testosterone levels and male reproductive effort: insight from a polygynous human population.
Alexandra Alvergne,Charlotte Faurie,Charlotte Faurie,Charlotte Faurie,Michel Raymond,Michel Raymond +5 more
TL;DR: Results in a polygynous population of agriculturists in rural Senegal show that pair-bonding and/or transition to fatherhood is associated with T profiles, and suggest that the endocrine regulation of reproductive effort is probably a general feature of human populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does the contraceptive pill alter mate choice in humans
Alexandra Alvergne,Virpi Lummaa +1 more
TL;DR: Support for and speculate on the consequences of pill-induced choice of otherwise less-preferred partners for relationship satisfaction, durability and, ultimately, reproductive outcomes are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Personality and reproductive success in a high-fertility human population.
TL;DR: It is shown that personality dimensions predict reproductive success differently in men and women in societies with low mortality–fertility schedules and, in women, are associated with a trade-off between offspring quantity and quality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Father-offspring resemblance predicts paternal investment in humans
Alexandra Alvergne,Alexandra Alvergne,Charlotte Faurie,Charlotte Faurie,Michel Raymond,Michel Raymond +5 more
TL;DR: It is found that paternal investment was positively related to both face and odour similarities between fathers and children, and was linked to the children’s health: children who received more investment had better growth and nutritional status.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential facial resemblance of young children to their parents: who do children look like more?
TL;DR: This paper found that children resemble both their parents more than would be expected by chance, although there is a differential resemblance toward one or the other parent depending on the age and sex of the child.
