I'm pretty sure that everyone reading this will be just as shocked to learn that, among most humans, a deep male voice indicates greater masculinity as they would be to learn that water is wet. Still, this NPR article is of interest...
| Quote: |
In the first phase of her research, Apicella invited a group of Hadza men into her Land Rover and recorded them saying "hello" in Swahili. Then she played some of the voices for a group of Hadza women, asking them which they preferred.
Apicella found the women preferred the men with the lower voices.
And that paralleled another of her findings. The Hadza men with deeper voices also had more children than their squeaky counterparts. But she says voice alone probably doesn't explain that. |
...if only because of the twist on said conventional wisdom found in another article on the same study:
| Quote: | "We found that men with deep voices have more children than their high-pitched counterparts," Apicella told AFP.
"But those children were not necessarily healthier, so it doesn't seem like deep-voiced men are passing on good genes to their offspring, as has been hypothesized in the past, but probably has to do with them having greater access to women." |
I'd be more worried about the implications of this question, except that I'm still struggling to figure out just what the heck the French babies pictured on the second article have to do with the Tanzanian men & women of the study...

| Quote: | | File photo shows newborn babies in a maternity unit at a hospital in the northwestern Paris suburb of Levallois-Perret. Men with deep voices have more children, probably because they attract more mates, the lead author of what is said to be the first study to examine the relationship between voice and number of offspring said Tuesday. |
/sigh/....French men.....

A couple of times, I think! (last year)
The corollary info in this thread is interesting.
