    Makes sense if single males are more solitary. Once you find a squad you post up

      That’s not what the data suggests. Single males weren’t necessarily solitary (they would have likely been living with whatever family raised them), and the DNA evidence suggests they would leave whatever family they were part of to join their partner/spouse’s family.

      These weren’t lonely guys finding a mate and moving out of convenience or utility, this was cultural marriage behavior.
