From an evolutionary perspective, why do people choose to study math?
How is that evolutionary advantageous to them.

Things like maths, music skill, humor, etc etc all evolve as a sort of test given by females.
To test the quality of your physical genes is easy. She just has to look at you, see your face is deformed, see that you're under 6'3 and instantly know you have shit genetics.
But mental processes are not so easy to see. So music, which is literally useless in every way, evolves as a sort of peacock feather. Like peacock feathers, music/math/humor/art acts as a "Proof of Good Mental Genetics".
It takes a certain amount of resources to build a brain that is better at music. Those are resources that could have gone toward productive things, like better hunting skills, better reflexes, but instead it goes toward something that is completely useless. So if you demonstrate high musical skill, you are demonstrating that you have so many resources that you have resources to burn. Females like this.
So you see, math is the ultimate pussy slayer.
