Does human ejaculate quality relate to phenotypic traits?

American journal of human biology : the official journal of the Human Biology Council - 1 May 2016

Jeffery Austin John, Pham Michael N, Shackelford Todd K, Fink Bernhard

Abstract excerpt

A given man's phenotype embodies cues of his ancestral ability to effectively defend himself and his kin from harm, to survive adverse conditions, and to acquire status and mating opportunities. In this review, we explore the hypothesis that a man's phenotype also embodies cues to fertility or the probability that an ejaculate will fertilize ova. Female mate choice depends on the ability to discern the quality of...
