Subject: mate choice
To: darwin-l@ukanaix.cc.ukans.edu

These references report studies supporting Alvard's contentions
regarding the differences in male and female mate choice.  The Buss
paper reviews the literature and reports new data.  The Kenrick paper
presents results from the studies Alvard discusses.  Buss' recent book,
which I have yet to read, should be the definitive source to date.

Kenrick, D. T., E. K. Sadalla, G. Groth, and M. R. Trost
1990    Evolution, Traits, and the Stages of Human Courtship:
Qualifying the Parental Investment Model.  Journal of Personality 58:
97-116.
