Look, males, biologically, are much more expendable than females, by simple virtue of the fact that a single male can impregnate multiple females - I don't like that fact one little bit, doesn't make it any less true.


He could impregnate several but, in an archaic environment, he could not enjoy reproductive success because he would be unable to feed and defend them.

2, maybe. 3 or more, ain't happenin.

They're leopard food.
Be that as it may, optimal or no, the rule still holds.

It's called r strategy, have enough offspring and it increases the chances that at least a percentage of them will survive.

Thought you said you knew something about biology.

And yes, Humans, like most mammals, are K strategists, although among mammals, MPI is seldom as common as it is among humans, although herd behaviors tend to compensate for that to a degree - one is probably more likely to find higher incidences MPI in avian species where the female has to stay in the nest and warm the egg and can't go out looking for food.

But yes, it is also the reason that while rape is a strategy, it's usually a piss poor one, Genghis Khan notwithstanding.


As for the archaic environment in which humans got their hardwired behaviors, they are more remote from Ghengis Khan than Khan was from the International Space Station.

Your r strategy if fine for an animal like the codfish that has millions of eggs. It doesn't work with humans or others that have comparatively few offspring who are slow to mature.

My claim is that the strategy is not just suboptimal. It is so poor as to be an evolutionary dead end.

As for my biological knowlege, I taught it on a few university campuses. What's your claim to fame?

WRONG. You can't even quote yourself without screwing up.

What you claimed was:
".... and rape, although I proved it to be a successful means of reproduction, I also mentioned is not the most optimal means by a long shot, it's a relatively marginal one, just successful enough to keep the trait recurrent, not enough to activate it on a broad scale." (post #126 on page 7 of this thread)

"Successful" usually has a positive connotation to it wouldn't you agree?

And "proved"?????? Who are you trying to kid? Yourself? It sure doesn't look like anyone else here is fooled does it?

I would also like to include that biology has its own way of ensuring the survival of the species. Its not just by chance that a child looks like it's biological father.
K strategy, a biological reinforcement of the pair bond, just like love - both genetic adaptations largely confined to humans, but r strategies are still in evidence, Quiverfulls are basically r strategists.

Lol, no, "successful" doesn't mean good or optimal in biology, in biology "successful" means it isn't extinct yet.

Do excuse me for introducing a note of reality into your fantasy world - but this is not a biology seminar. It is a bulletin board. "Successful" here has its standard English meaning.

I note you saw fit to decline to tell us anything about this miraculous 'proof' you claim. Is it as ephemeral as the rest of your nonsense?

I also note that those people here with credible claims to qualifications in Biology are as dismissive of your gibberish as I am .........(see eg post # 187). I wonder if your experience on "university campuses" amounted to anything more than helping the gardeners out.

Incorrect again.

"Successful" means that it outcompetes the alternatives.

Albinism isn't 'successful' by any stretch of the imagination but it exists nonetheless.

Due to the fact that only a very tiny percentage of humans are born as a result of rape even in a modern environment where being consumed by a leopard is a very minor worry, it can be inferred that this strategy is unsuccessful.

It's simply the best humans can do, given the biology of human females, women are K strategists by default, unless you count the Octomom - and trust me, if they could be polygynous, they would be - if the mother dies in childbirth, she is replaced, no?

Those FLDS in Texas were collecting multiple welfare checks, which in biological terms is tantamout to letting the children fend for themselves, compensating with herd behavior at best.

How many of those kids you think they send to college? It's far from classic K strategy.

"Raising offspring to sexual maturity and then they successfully reproduce"

THAT is the definition of reproductive success.

If they can convince the rest of the world to send them money and help insure the survival of their offspring, that could be construed as "financial cuckoldry" which is a whole different ball of wax.

K? Anthropological studies notwithstanding, it does not behoove us at this juncture to opine on mixed r and K strategies of apparently a small band of texas welfare women, when discussing this rape thing, unless there is some overwhelming evidence that:

A) they are military.
B) they have been multply raped by multiple rapists, with upwards to 30% impregnation rates (hey, before I was cut, I was a strong shooter, but no where near that accurate).
C) this is a normative strategy for military women raped multiple times and pregnant multiple times by rapists.

So, you got some sourcing to tie these sticks together, in my estimation.

Are you ladies referring to me or xssve?

I was the one that taught at FIU, UM main campus and UM Marine campus.

A PhD isn't necessary to work as an adjunct or even Professor. Mr Gropp at U Miami was probably the best at teaching Inorganic Chemistry I have ever studied under but he had no doctorate.
