The most obvious way to increase one's fitness is to have children, and individuals can augment their direct fitness via reproduction (reproductive fitness). On the other hand, individuals can also boost the propagation of their genes by investing in those with whom they are related. If your daughter, your grandson, or your nephew were to have a child, this child would be indirectly increasing your own fitness. Hence, this form of indirect fitness is part and parcel of the more general term known as inclusive fitness.

We are emotional creatures that seek a close bonding relationship. Why would we do any other system?

And governments, of course, can afford to pay the troll toll to get into the boy's hole.

And there's nowhere to run. When civics teacher Fogle sticks his wang in your arse, you run to Headmaster Woody Allen, who get a piece and then kicks you upstairs to Superintendent Sandusky.

Check out Sex at Dawn. Chris Ryan makes a case that non-monogamy and community parenting is the natural state of man, and that monogamy and paternity are a product of agriculture.

Seems like the human females imposed this system upon us. I have no idea why we let them get away with this shite, given the fact that our Good Ole USA didn't let them vote until 1920!

How does he know? He has no historical reference. Anyway, people living in clans and looking out for each other's kids doesn't really constitute "community parenting."

It's just marxist bullshite fed to idiots so they'll let Woody Allen molest their kids.

Why do you think that they call him "Woody"?

He doesn't know. It's a theory based on the study of current tribal cultures and bonobos.

What are the benefits of a system where parents maintain and raise children rather than the community?


Have you been to the DMV? That is the community. I'll stick to raising my own kids.

I'm honestly curious to know how he could make that argument.

Immediate families had to survive and preserve themselves before larger social units could form from them.

I'd think that goes for any animal species really. Then again, I've only dabbled in this area so I'm no expert...

Watch that Planet Earth NatGeo type show where the lead zebra dies. The new lead stallion can sense which foals are his and which are the prior king's.

He brutally kills the offspring of his predecessor. He fricking stomps and chomps and slings the shite out of the baby zebras that are not his. Nature is brutal.

I think it has to do with supporting a family. Animals live in community because there food is on a tree and the toilet is everywhere. Our food is at HEB and we have to pay the water company per month to be able to flush .

It would be neat if some alien society came here and gave every human whatever he wanted. No more money was needed. You want it? You got it . Would that lead to more males simply free roaming and baring children with what ever lady gave them a green light?
