Gender Equality Influences How People Choose Their Partners | Science News | Scoop.it

Because increasing gender equality reduces gender differences in mate selection, studies indicate that the strategies men and women use to choose mates may not be as hardwired as scientists originally thought.
“These findings challenge the idea proposed by some evolutionary psychologists that gender differences in mate-preferences are determined by evolved adaptations that became biologically embedded in the male and female brain,” says Zentner.
