Maximizing social outcomes in mate selection
Algorithms can predict better social outcomes for children based on mate selection. Mate selection aims at maximizing prospects for children's well-being, although not all societies follow this pattern. In some societies, like in parts of the Middle East and native American communities in South America, cousin marriage is common, limiting marriage choices. Interestingly, these cousin marriages may lead to more social diversity compared to marriages in other societies.
