Natural Selection Female Wrestling -

Sociological factors, such as cultural and social support, also influence the evolution of female wrestling. In societies where women's sports are encouraged and supported, female wrestling is more likely to thrive. For example, a study on the cultural context of female wrestling in the United States found that women from cultures with strong sporting traditions were more likely to participate in the sport (3). Natural selection acts on these sociological factors, favoring individuals who are part of a supportive and encouraging environment.
