Testosterone also promotes the ability to stay calm and concentrate for long periods. Low-T men struggle with that. T wears a lot of hats.
Levels are also substantially dependent on your perceived position in your social dominance hierarchy.

That's a fair point. I definitely don't think anyone with zero T is going to thrive 😂. But the overall trend is too strong to ignore
Not trying to be contrarian, but I expect ~0% downregulation in the genetic influences on T levels. Its just too useful for social/intellectual work.
Cortisol, though, that I could see being down-regulated, at least the receptors in many tissues. Activating immune cells and prepositioning them to the skin is not a useful response to monthly sales figures coming in low!
You sound like you know more than me so I appreciate your comments 🤝
