Only 40% of males and 80% of females who have ever lived have reproduced. Bit by bit we are dragging ourselves back to the Stone Age.
I've read a lot about this in the manosphere and the implication seems to be that 80 percent of the women judge only 40 percent of the men fit to spawn with.
Most of the reason only 40% of men in human history had children is a combination of polygamy (the alpha males of the tribe couldn't have multiple women without a lot of other men missing out) and because of very high murder rates. One of the best predictors of male fertility in hunter gatherer societies is whether or not you've killed someone.
