Lewotontin wrote a critical review of The Social Organization of Sexuality by E.O. Laumann
and others. Laumann was using data from a sample survey, in which respondents answer
questions about their sexual behavior, including the number of partners in the previous five-year
period. On average, among heterosexuals, men reported having about twice as many partners as
women. Lewotontin thought this was a serious inconsistency, showing that respondants \"are
telling themsevles and other enormous lies\" Laumann replied that you should not use averages
to summarize such skewed and long-tailed distributions.
