Reply to comment by [deleted] in Has there been a global drop in men's testosterone levels in recent decades? by St4nM4rsh

Is there any explanation for this?

What is gonna happen if in the future it keeps decreasing?

Evolution.

Humans may have domesticated a lot of animals, but the one creature we've domesticated the most is ourselves.

Since testosterone is an immune inhibitor, and since diseases rise in frequency with greater population density, it would've made sense for men with lower levels to fare far better than their manlier counterparts. Also makes for better neighbors.
