Hypothesis

Higher UV radiation is associated with more gender inequality.

Note

When models were tested, it was found that the model that best fit the data showed that UV radiation, the presence of the ACP1*B allele, pathogen prevalence, and cognitive performance all predicted the presence of gender inequality. For more details, see page 250.
