Fundamental motives: How evolutionary needs influence consumer behavior (2013, background): “For 95% of all mammals, mating is a short-term affair that ends after copulation (Geary, 2000).”
Forgiveness or breakup: Sex differences in responses to a partner's infidelity (2002, neutral): “Among human ancestors, a single instance of sexual infidelity could jeopardise a man’s certainty in paternity, with the attendant reproductive risk of investing a couple of decades of effort in a rival man’s child rather than his own (see Geary, 2000, for a recent discussion of paternal investment).”
Testosterone and human aggression: an evaluation of the challenge hypothesis. (2006, background): “Human mating systems are variable, and have been described in evolutionary terms as involving mild polygyny, together with paternal care (Geary, 2000).”
Sex similarities and differences in preferences for short-term mates: what, whether, and why. (2006, background): “Thus, in reproductive terms, the prospect of a short-term relationship typically has a higher cost-to-benefit ratio for women than for men (e.g., Geary, 2000; Landolt, Lalumiere, & Quinsey, 1995; Symons, 1979).”
A cross-cultural analysis of the behavior of women and men: implications for the origins of sex differences. (2002, background): “…domains are particularly relevant to testing the evolutionary psychology assumption that selection pressures in early environments underlie men’s orientation to provide resources and women’s decisions concerning child care (e.g., Buss & Kenrick, 1998; Geary, 2000; Kenrick & Luce, 2000; Mann, 1992).”
Evolution and development of boys’ social behavior (2003, background): “Humans are unusual in that men often invest in their children, albeit not as much as women do (Geary, 2000).”
Oxytocin and social affiliation in humans. (2012, background): “Paternal care is observed in only 3–5% of mammalian species, biparental species that exhibit active paternal involvement in childcare (Geary, 2000).”
Gender Differences in Delay of Gratification: A Meta-Analysis (2003, background): “Central to this theory are two claims (see Geary, 2000; Hrdy, 1999).”
Conspicuous consumption, relationships, and rivals: Women's luxury products as signals to other women (2014, background): “People also seek luxury products because such possessions can signal important information to others (Belk, Bahn, and Mayer 1982; Richins 1994).”
Missing the revolution : Darwinism for social scientists (2006, background): “My guess is that they will prefer a long-term partner who contributes financially and emotionally to the lives of their joint children (Geary, 2000).”
Perceived mate availability influences intrasexual competition, jealousy and mate-guarding behavior (2014, background): “ment necessitates their sexual selectivity, prompting males to compete for mating access (CAMPBELL 1995; DALY and WILSON 1988; GEARY 2000; TRIVERS 1972).”
The Biology of Paternal Care in Human and Nonhuman Primates (2009, background): “In humans, several hypotheses propose a relationship between childhood experiences and an adult focus on mating or parenting effort (Belsky et al. 1991, Chisholm 1993, Geary 2000, Quinlan 2007).”
