Abstract

Presents a biosocial model of human paternal care allowing relationship (mating) effort to influence male parental allocations. Results from a test of the model with 340 high school students in Xhosa, South Africa provide support for the roles of both parental and relationship effort in influencing parental care: men invested significantly more in their genetic offspring and in the children of their current mates.
