If you're on this forum you're no doubt aware of the statistic that scientists believe that historically 80% of women reproduce vs only 40% of men.
I'd like to submit that this means males are under more evolutionary pressure than females, which causes undesirable traits to be eliminated faster as well as the faster emergence of new traits which are desirable. Thus it could be said that men are more evolved.
The counterargument to this would probably be that most of the human genome is gender neutral and therefore most traits would evolve at the same rate between both males and females. IDK.
I'm not an expert on any of this so I could easily be wrong. I was just thinking about how many things there are that can ruin your chances as a man but wouldn't even matter if you're a woman when it occurred to me that this means there is a disparity in how much evolutionary pressure males are under compared to females.
