21 days agowomen have an advantage over men in activities requiring endurance, such as running
This apparent advantage doesn’t seem to play out in the real world.
I’ve criticised several similar papers in the last few years, one of which was retracted. So far I have seen flawed methodology, cherry picking evidence and ignoring widely available data on uncontacted hunter gatherer societies.
This doesn’t seem like quality research and that’s just at a glance.
It’s not a me problem just a statement of fact that I haven’t spent hours going over the paper and its references yet.
You think that people who were living in hunter gatherer societies didn’t experience enough physical exertion for testosterone to play a signficant role in their physical performance?
Otherwise you’re just talking completely out of context… which is what the authors did in the paper you linked.
