Thirty males from a traditional society (i.e., natural fertility population) were measured for degree of bodily asymmetry (FA) and reproductive success (RS). Since older men may have higher reproductive success and may be more symmetrical because they have survived the rigours of natural selection, age in years was also collected. Below is the data.
