We are born into this environment with a certain nature and that plays out differently in different environments. And now we've created an environment where it has become very difficult for women to find partners.

Well, we are the first societies in human history that have individual partner choice. No other society have done that before. It's always been different extents of various degrees of arranged marriage. So when we opened this up in the 1960s, we talked about this last year, how the six million year build up to the today's mating regime.

And when we open these mating markets up, what has happened is actually quite predictable as a consequence of the difference between women's promiscuous attraction system and pair bonding attraction systems. And the regular fertility researchers do not understand these mechanisms. For everyone, it's just a big puzzle while we're no longer partnering up and creating children.

But from an evolutionary perspective, it's quite predictable.

Well, as we talked about the last time, six million years ago with our last common ancestor with chimpanzees, we made it promiscuously, which is what most animals do. So there, women or females are incentivized to be very choosy.

They're supposed to give mating opportunities predominantly to the most successful males because that is the most effective way of distributing beneficial genes to the population. So... And then because of the development of our speeches around four million years ago, we evolved a different attraction system, pair bonding attraction system.

And that's more, say, egalitarian, because then you want paternal investment from the male, and then a woman will typically then pair bond with a male of similar partner value. So you have in a promiscuous system mating opportunities going mostly to the most attractive males. And in a pair bonding attraction system, it spreads more evenly. But we didn't become a pure pair bonding species.

We have a mixed system. We both have a promiscuous attraction system and a pair bonding attraction system. And for every human community that has existed, a fundamental challenge has been how to reconcile women's different preferences according to those attraction systems in a way that allows functional mating. Now, men are different. Their promiscuous attraction system is very inclusive.
