The tradeoffs that women make around the world, whether to be the first wife of a poor man or the second wife of a very rich man with a big cut of land, can lead to a point of no return where they must decide to marry soon to have children or risk losing that opportunity. With a vast difference between rich and poor, women are often attracted to the status and wealth of men rather than their character, leading to examples such as Genghis Khan and King Solomon who are ancestors of 1% of all males alive today.
