      2) in many primate societies males prefer multiparous females over younger ones...already having infants and having a fully mature physiology. There are also many variants on what humans "prefer" as attractants.https://twitter.com/TangledWing/status/1031547698116218881 …

      Name me one single human culture in one single time or place where this has not been true. Resisting it is one thing. Denying it is taking political correctness to new levels...

      Ev psych includes the radical idea that human mating systems might be different from chimpanzee mating systems. You're deliberately ducking the issue, and you know it.

      Ducking what issue? I thought this conversation was about to what extent we can say that human mating patterns are invariant. Chimpanzee data, cross-cultural anthro & historical data are all important for understanding that issue.

      Nobody claims anthropoid mating patterns are 'invariant'. Most ev psych people don't even claim human mating patterns are 'invariant'. But we are willing to note cross-cultural patterns when the data are overwhelming. Is @Anthrofuentes willing to do so?

      of course. There are lots of patterns. but see @CathrynTownsend 's response and no one has yet defined "young"... How is it assessed? what are the actual variation in fertility across age sets? what about fecundity and infant mortality and age? all of this is relevant

      Replying to @Bkwrmgal @Anthrofuentes and

      I agree that science could learn a lot from studying Poly dynamics and mating markets. I taught a course on it last year. Evo psych and anthro make a lot of monogamist assumptions.
