Life history variables and risk-taking propensity (2009, background): “However, evolutionary theory suggests that a crucial difference between the sexes lies in the role of risktaking in reproductive competition, which is typically more intense for young men than for women or older men (e.g., Daly & Wilson 1997; Low, 2000; Wilke, Hutchinson, Todd, & Kruger, 2006).”
Women's lives there, here, then, now: a review of women's ecological and demographic constraints cross-culturally (2005, unknown): “And within societies, even when wealthier families have fewer children than poorer families do, the income available for each child remains enormously higher for children in wealthy families (Birdsall, 1980; Birdsall & Griffin, 1988; Clarke & Low, 2001; Low, 2000a).”
Hook-up behavior: A biopsychosocial perspective. (2008, background): “There exists an incredibly rich body of literature investigating human sexual and reproductive behavior from an evolutionary perspective (e.g., Buss, 2003; Daly & Wilson, 1983; Fisher, 1992; Gaulin & McBurney, 2004; Low, 2000 ).”
Instrumental Variable Estimation of the Causal Effect of Hunger Early in Life on Health Later in Life (2016, background): “In sum, it seems that boys tend to be biologically more sensitive to early-life nutritional conditions than girls (Kraemer, 2000; Low, 2001).”
