The fact that these tend toward the mean rather than the minimum, implies that they are positively correlated with reproductive success, but some other variable begins to dominate after exceeding the mean. Since you have accounted for all the physiological variance the missing factor must be ideological.

I posit that it is the mere perception of being exceptional that is the problem. Pride. It is just pride. Humility allows women (and men) to live more freely for others and for greater goals than themselves.

The implication is kind of entertaining. If a society is steeped in a sense of humility then it is precisely the women who will cause an upward trend in the means of beauty, intelligence, athleticism etc.
