  1. Paternity Uncertainty Hypothesis

    Introduction. Paternity uncertainty hypothesis is a construct in behavioral ecology and evolutionary psychology, used to explain differential investment in offspring between the sexes. The hypothesis states that due to the nature of internal fertilization, a male inseminator cannot be fully assured (consciously or otherwise) of the genetic ...

In this context, men and women pursue both short and long-term mating

  3. Paternity Uncertainty and Father-Offspring Conflict

    The sex-based asymmetry in parental certainty contributes to a variety of conflicts between males and females and to conflicts between males and putative offspring (Trivers 1974 ). Specifically, a male may come in conflict with offspring as he and the child attempt to further their own genetic success. As said, a male who is uncertain that the ...

  6. Paternity Uncertainty and Evolutionary Psychology: How a Seemingly

    According to evolutionary psychologists, paternity uncertainty arises from the fact that men are `hard wired' to seek as many sexual partners as they can, and women to seek men of superior genetic quality. This account is said to be demonstrable through independent biological evidence of widespread discrepancy between putative and actual ...

  7. Paternity Uncertainty and Evolutionary Psychology: How a Seemingly

    Evolutionary psychologists aspire to show how —contrary to `soft' social sciences such as sociology — `seemingly capricious' occurrences in the realm of human behaviour follow biologistic `laws of greater generality' (Pinker, 2005: xii).This article is a case study of the `seemingly capricious occurrence' of paternity uncertainty. According to evolutionary psychologists, paternity ...

    The use of the paternity hypothesis as an explanatory framework encourages dualistic thinking because it focuses on differences in reproductive strategies and uses a single biological variable, paternity certainty. ences presented by Buss could also be explained by the subordination of women in patriarchal culture, rather than as a result of differences in evolutionary adaptation. Although ...

    Incorporating paternity uncertainty into the model demonstrates the conditions under which the grandmother hypothesis is more plausible than a hypothesis that focuses on the contributions of men. Keywords: Grandmother hypothesis; Human evolution; Menopause; Paternity uncertainty.

  16. Family Violence: How Paternity Uncertainty Raises the Stakes

    We discuss how intimate partner violence (IPV), motivated by paternity uncertainty, sometimes leads to uxoricide (wife killing) by exploring two contrasting evolutionary ideas: the slip-up hypothesis (Daly & Wilson, 1988) and homicide adaptation theory (Buss & Duntley, 1998), and we apply evolutionary game theory in an attempt to better ...

Additionally, varying attachment styles can influence the development of an offspring, impacting their future choices on ...

As said, a male who is uncertain that the offspring shares his genes stands more to gain genetically by reducing investment in the child and increasing investment in mating and repro-duction.

  19. Why men invest in non-biological offspring: paternal care and paternity

    However, low paternity confidence was reported for only 49 of 3066 pregnancies (1.46%), and in another 3% of pregnancies, men refused to answer questions about paternity. Teasing out the effects of paternity uncertainty on paternal investments and paternal care may be more fruitful in societies where extra-pair paternity is more common.

The factory owner's wife has an affair with the Chinese foreman, which results in the birth of ...

  21. Paternity Certainty

    However, in some species of socially monogamic passerine birds, extra-pair paternity is a common feature, and investment in non-kin brood is also common. Even with experimental manipulations of the degree of uncertainty of paternity, these males expend the same amount of investment in paternal care towards the offspring (Kempenaers et al. 1998).

  22. The expendable male hypothesis

    Paternity uncertainty represents the oldest and most common explanation of matrilineal inheritance and cooperative behaviour. Alexander was the first evolutionary anthropologist to describe what is, in fact, 'one of the oldest hypotheses in social science' in evolutionary terms. The adage, 'Mommy's baby; Daddy's, maybe' captures the ...
