Men's preferences for women's profile waist-to-hip ratio in two societies (2005, background): “Consequently, the farther from the equator a society is, the less women contribute to the diet, and presumably the less walking they do (Marlowe, 2001).”
Women's Sexual Strategies: The Evolution of Long-Term Bonds and Extrapair Sex (2006, background): “Among modern foragers, the mean female reproductive success, measured as the number of offspring surviving to age 15, is only 3.11 (Marlowe, 2001).”
The Ape That Thought It Was a Peacock: Does Evolutionary Psychology Exaggerate Human Sex Differences? (2013, background): “It could, for example, help shorten the woman’s interbirth interval, through reducing the workload and calorific toll associated with raising a young child (Marlowe, 2001).”
Who keeps children alive? A review of the effects of kin on child survival (2008, background): “And Marlowe (2001) has found that male contribution to diet is positively correlated with female reproductive success in a crosscultural study of hunter-gatherers, although male contribution was not associated with child survival.”
TARGET ARTICLE: Evolutionary Foundations of Cultural Variation: Evoked Culture and Mate Preferences (2006, unknown): “Women in traditional societies can and do turn the surplus of calories generated by men into production of offspring and thereby reproductively benefit from this surplus generated through male hunting (Marlowe, 2001).”
A critical period for provisioning by Hadza men: Implications for pair bonding (2003, background): “If so, women should be able to rear more offspring in less time when they have a husband providing food (Marlowe, 2001).”
The Importance of Honey Consumption in Human Evolution (2011, background): “Honey comprises approximately 15 percent of the Hadza diet (Marlowe 2001), is shared widely outside of the household, and is consumed by the entire camp (Bunn and Schoeninger 2009; Marlowe 2003).”
Upper-body strength predicts hunting reputation and reproductive success in Hadza hunter–gatherers (2014, background): “, 2001) and the fact that men, on average, tend to contribute less food to the diet than women (Marlowe, 2001).”
