Men with deep voices tend to have more children than men who speak in a high-pitch, scientists say.
Their finding is based on a group of hunter-gatherers in Tanzania known as the Hadza, who can be studied without bias because they use no birth control.
Males who hit the lower notes as they talked had about two more children on average than squeaky speakers.
It fits with observations that women find baritones more attractive, the team reports in Biology Letters.

Maybe, and maybe the men with high-pitched voices don't find women to be attractive.

Just how much I my tax money was used to reach this conclusion? Why don't we just have scientists vote on what they think the outcome will be in order to gain a consensus?
Works for global warming, why not for voice tone vs number of children? Seems fair to me.

Yep! Baritones rock. I get all a-flutter at a deep voice. Not enough to give him 2 extra children, though.
