Female Infidelity and Paternal Uncertainty

Evolutionary Perspectives on Male Anti-Cuckoldry Tactics
Ed. by Steven M. Platek and Todd K. Shackelford

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Whereas females can be 100% sure of maternity, males can never be entirely sure of paternity. Males have therefore evolved a number of anti-cuckoldry strategies to deal withthe possibility of raising an offspring they unknowingly did not sire. Female Infidelity and Paternal Uncertainty: Evolutionary Perspectives on Male Anti-cuckoldry Tactics is the first book to address these perspectives and examine how males deal with the consequences of female infidelity. It is data-driven, academically rigorous, the first book in this field and of current topical interest.
