Abstract
⺠We develop a novel agent-based model (ABM) of a population of women and men. ⺠Our population has overlapping generation and different mating systems. ⺠We classify conditions reproducing the observed human female-male TMRCA ratio of 2. ⺠We find that high male-male competition is necessary to yield the TMRCA ratio of 2.
