In human populations, assortative mating is almost universally positive, with similarities
between partners for quantitative phenotypes–, common disease risk,,–, behaviour,, social …

Positive correlations between mates can increase trait variation and prevalence, as well as
bias estimates from genetically informed study designs. While past studies of similarity …

Height variation is known to be determined by both genetic and environmental factors, but a
systematic description of how their influences differ by sex, age and global regions is …

Many traits are subject to assortative mating, with recent molecular genetic findings
confirming longstanding theoretical predictions that assortative mating induces long range …

The dual mating strategy hypothesis proposes that women's preferences for uncommitted
sexual relationships with men displaying putative fitness cues increase during the high …

For the greater part of human history, political behaviors, values, preferences, and
institutions have been viewed as socially determined. Discoveries during the 1970s that …

An influential explanation for gender differences in mating strategies is that the sex-specific
reproductive constraints faced by human ancestors shaped these differences. Other …

Pedigree-based analyses of intelligence have reported that genetic differences account for
50–80% of the phenotypic variation. For personality traits these effects are smaller, with 34 …
