| Question | Answer |
| Buss, 1989 | - Cross-cultural study - Men look for physical attractiveness - Women additionally look for resources a partner might be able to provide |
| Kuhn and Stiner, 2006 | - Suggests gender division of labour might explain survival of the homo sapiens and not the Neanderthals - Both men and female Neanderthals hunted (no division of labour) |
| Baron-Cohen, 2002 (E-S theory) | - Proposed that women being better at emphasising and men being better at systematising may be the result of a selection pressure - Suggested that males who were able to systematise with greater precision would have gained an evolutionary advantage |
| Taylor et al, 2000 | - Proposed women be more focused on interpersonal relationships might stem from different challenges faced when dealing with stress in EEA - Showed that in women, levels of oxytocin increased with stress |
| Waynforth and Dunbar, 1995 | - Differences in the way males and females advertise themselves - 44% of males sought physical attractiveness compared to women - 50% of women offered attractiveness whereas only 34% of males did |
| Tzedakis et al, 2007 | - Other theories are just as plausible to explain the disappearance of the Neanderthals such as climate change in Europe |
| Ennis et al, 2001 | - Conducted a natural experiment to test male-female differences in stress responses - Sampled cortisol levels and found males levels increased during stress and females levels decreased |
| Stanford, 1999 | - The meat-sharing hypothesis - An outcome of men becoming hunters due to selective pressures, is meat being used as a means of attracting female interest |
| Baron-Cohen, 2004 (Cognitive Style) | - Men and women do think in different ways which align with predicted differences in cognitive style - Developed a systematising quotient questionnaire - Found that men tended to be systematising and women tended to be empathising |
| Baron-Cohen, 2004 (Autism) | - Proposed that maybe autism is an example of the extreme male brain - Those who autism score high at systematising and low on empathising |
