The Natural and Sexual Selection of Endometriosis Risk by Prof. Bernard Crespi (Simon Fraser University, Canada)
Université Montpellier Campus Triolet ISEM Salle Louis Thaler Bât 22 1st floor Place Eugène Bataillon, Montpellier, Languedoc Roussillon, FranceI propose and evaluate a new theory for helping to explain the evolution of endometriosis risk in humans. By this theory, endometriosis risk evolved in the context of sexual selection by males for high, relatively female-biased expression of sexually dimorphic and female-limited phenotypes associated with low testosterone and high female reproductive fitness. The theory is supported by [...]
