Table 4.
Descriptive statistics of reproductive parameters of those F1 offspring who survived to age 15 themselves and were successfully followed until the end of potential reproductive life (data subset 1), split by sex and social class (all mean±1 s.d.). (Lifespan here thus refers to the total number of years lived by those who survived to adulthood (age 15).)
