Isn't all of this mediated by other factors, including androgen receptors and other whoremoans? Keep in mind I have no idea what I'm talking about. Gracilized domesticated med could have off-the-charts T but be aromatizing or flooded with myostatin etc

I dunno man, I just stumbled across it in one study a couple days ago and was surprised to see it replicated over and over again

Also compare w/hakan studies on domesticated vs wild animals.

right from the few studies we have on hadza and ache t levels they appear to be lower than in sedentary western populations

Would be wonderful if it was possible to test pre-agricultural populations instead of gatherers forced to marginal lands.

maybe for any multigenerational ecological state favoring higher masculinity, more efficient to evolve more androgen sensitivity than higher free-floating androgens

I mean whatever the merits of the study modern hunter-gatherers are hardly representative of Paleo- and Mesolithic life.

Also if testosterone favors muscle growth rather than energy storage I could see why h/g lifestyle would disfavor it I guess

you can modulate behavioral vs anabolic effects of testosterone through differential tissue-specific expression of 5AR
