human mating behaviour

human mating behaviour A new study by St Andrews academics challenges the long-standing expectations that men are promiscuous and women more particular when it comes to choosing a mate.The research suggests that human mating strategies are not likely to conform to a single universal pattern and provides important insights tat may impact future investigations of human mating behaviour.Dr Gillian Brown, from the School of Psychology, and Professor Kevin Laland, from the School of Biology, examined the evolution of human sex roles, assessing the universal applicability of the now famous research in 1948 by Angus J Bateman on fruit flies.
