Abstract
A simple argument demonstrates that the mean strategy of a diploid sexual population at evolutionary equilibrium can be expected to be an evolutionarily stable strategy (ESS) in the formal sense. This result follows under a wide set of models of genetic inheritance of strategy (including sexual selection) provided that the ESS is both attainable and maintainable.Keywords
