abstract="Females make large investments in their children and compete among themselves to establish and maintain privileged relationships with male allies who demonstrate both an ability and a willingness to provide fitness-enhancing advantages. Various &quot;strategies&quot; and their more numerous, associated &quot;tactics&quot; are utilized in the competition. Alleged strategies include using sexuality, producing offspring, assisting the male in his own intrasexual contests, and harassing female competitors. The strategies in question are documented in multiple primate species, including humans living in various times and places. Some variables are discussed that influence the degree to which human females rely upon them.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
