Two things were happening.
Low value males were not reproducing because women were not picking them. Given a choice women will pick a guy who is able to provide for the offspring.
The second is that a lot of men DID die trying to move up the ladder so the women would pick them.
They took chances, they died.

I wouldn’t be surprised. :^)
It’s also a good guess that war widows (after various conflicts with nomadic raiders) would wind up getting taken into the household of, say, a chief, responsible for the fatherless kids and widows.

The women were not picking them? I thought when cave men went a-court in’
they took a big club with them.

Not my ancestors—although they might have run from the sounds of battle.
