Empirical research shows increases in male hunting are most reliably associated with increased familial requirements as the number and needs of dependent children increases and the productivity of a wife decreases as a consequence of pregnancy, lactation, and childcare. Changes in male hunting are most consistently viewed as paternal effort.
