Abstract
Polygyny does not necessarily entail sexual selection of men. All fact
ors that affect the operational sex,ratio must be considered. Data fro
m contemporary hunter-gatherers indicate higher mortality rates in men
than in women, and lost female reproductive time. If sexual selection
did occur in ancestral hunter-gatherers, it was probably men selectin
g women and not women selecting men.
