[1] A Historical-Genetic Reconstruction of Human Extra-Pair Paternity

Highlights

• Combining genetic and genealogical data illuminates our ancestors’ sexual behavior

• Gene-genealogy mismatches imply extra-pair paternity (EPP)

• Historical EPP rates were low overall (∼1%) but varied depending on social context

• EPP rates were highest (∼6%) among urban families with low socioeconomic status
