| 1 | Why Does Sexual Reproduction Exist At All?Oh no, throwaway account. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/05/17 01:28 AM |
| 2 | Why Does Sexual Reproduction Exist At All?Sexual reproduction appeared because it was beneficial, making possible faster adaptations etc, yes. That says almost nothing as to why sexual selection work the way it works. Last I check, before this offshoot thread, we were talking about sexual selection, not the apparition of sexual reproduction. Two different things. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/05/17 01:23 AM |
| 7 | Why Does Sexual Reproduction Exist At All?Your understanding of sexual selection is cartoonish. The takeaway here, is that fundamentally, what most animals are seeking out sexually is not some "ideal" set of genes. But rather, a set of genes that is extremely different from their own. Source? That is not at all what most animals are seeking out. Sure, we usually have inbreeding avoidance mechanisms but we're definitely not just seeking out "a set of genes that is extremely different from our own". I mean, "extremely"? I don't want to ma… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/05/17 01:08 AM |
| 1 | Mammals "use" father's DNA more than mother'sOkey-dokey. Maybe some good arguments could actually be made. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/05/17 12:37 AM |
| 2 | Mammals "use" father's DNA more than mother'sOne that does not fit with the conceptual model of human existing in a kind of "pyramid" with some genes being better than others. Some organisms (and in this case; human males) have genes that are better at replicating themselves though. Genes that makes their host appear highly fuckable to women (unlike your Steve Bushemi lookalike) could be viewed as being "better" (at least at replicating themselves). tl;dr Sexual selection disagrees, and sexual selection almost act solely on males. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/05/17 12:21 AM |
| 2 | Mammals "use" father's DNA more than mother'sThere's more genetic variations in males, which might be why there's more geniuses but also more morons in males, than in females for example. In pretty much all mammals females are the selector, males the selectee. It's certainly not unique to mice and definitely presents in humans. I don't think genes expression have to necessarily be stronger in males to make a case for hypergamy though. All you need to explain hypergamy is women > conception > 9 months pregnancy, really. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/05/17 12:10 AM |
