Human sexuality- evolution game thoery
 

I thought this would be a fun exercise.

Given the following conditions what evolutionary traits would we likely see in a population, what kind of equilibrium would we reach?

Listed from most desirable condition to least

Females:
1. Mate with strongest male, male provides support for offspring

2. Mate with strongest male, trick secondary male into thinking its his to provide support for offspring

3. Mate with secondary male, have secondary male provide support

4. Mate with strongest male, get no support

5. Mate with secondary male, get no support

Males

1. Mate with many females, have other males support offspring.

2. Mate with many females, no support provided.

3. Mate with fittest female, provide support.

4. Mate with secondary female, provide support.

5. Mate with fittest female, provide no support.

6. Mate with secondary female, provide no support.

If you have studied this stuff don't ruin it to early please.

EDIT: forgot to add #7 for men

7. get tricked into providing for others offspring
