Relationship Between Self‐Reported Storytelling Ability and Reproductive Success Among Three Non‐Western Populations in Nigeria, Pakistan, and Papua

Abstract

The association between storytelling ability and reproductive success appears context-dependent and may differ between egalitarian and hierarchical societies. Findings suggest that storytelling ability may be more strongly related to the likelihood of parenthood than to completed fertility in certain socioecological settings.
