This theory, if true (which is nigh-impossible to prove) seems to lead to percentages that align with the theory of the disposable male.
That theory, last I glanced at it, was that 70% of females expect to reproduce in any given generation compared to 30% of males, and was then used as explanations for higher risk behavior in males.
What that was based on (species used, or timelines in human society, etc) I do not know.
It was also attached to some dubious headlines like "the myth of male power" which undermined IMO the theory, but the core theory seems to explain a large amount of strange things in society, even though technology has upended the conditions from which it arose.
