According to the graphical illustration, it can be clearly seen that the reproductive success of females is a very high number of offsprings 20-40 as compared to males. The number of individuals having a successful fertile rate in males is high in a very specific range of age. only 20-30. This clearly shows that the females have evolved with a breeding feature where they prioritize their partners to be of a specific age group.
