To test that idea , tim clutton - brock of cambridge university and kavita isvaran of the indian institute of science in bengalooru decided to compare monogamous and polygynous species ( in the latter , a male monopolises a number of females ) 為了證實這一理論,劍橋大學的蒂姆?克拉頓布勞克與印度科學研究所的卡維他?伊斯瓦蘭決定將一夫一妻制的物種與一夫多妻制的物質進行對比(后者一雄性占據多數雌性) 。

In 16 of the 19 polygynous species in their sample , males of all ages were much more likely to die during any given period than were females 在19個一夫多妻制物種樣本中, 16個物種的雄性中,各個年齡階段的樣本在給定的時間段中都比雌性更易死亡。

In 16 of the 19 polygynous species in their sample , males of all ages were much more likely to die during any given period than were females 在19個一雄多雌物種樣本中有16個物種,其各個生命段的雄性在既定時期內的死亡率要高于雌性。

They wanted to find out whether polygynous males had lower survival rates and aged faster than those of monogamous species 他們想看看一夫多妻制物種的雄性是不是在存活率和衰老速度上都低于和快于一夫一妻制物種。

They wanted to find out whether polygynous males had lower survival rates and aged faster than those of monogamous species 他們要查明一雄多雌物種與一雌一雄物種相比,是否存活率更低,而且老得更快。

We know that humans have been polygynous throughout most of history because men are taller than women 我們知道在大部分人類歷史里存在一夫多妻制的原因是男人身材要比女人身材高。
