Staying alive | Finding a mate | Nurturing our young | So what?
One of the basic and perhaps most degrading tenets of Darwinian evolution
which was expounded by Richard Dawkins in 'The Selfish Gene' is that we are
little more than 'gene machines'. Seen from a fundamentalist evolutionary sense,
our sole purpose in life is to propagating our genes, and our needs are honed to
relentlessly drive us in this direction.
Staying alive
The first step towards procreation is in staying healthy and alive. This means
finding food and shelter and, if necessary, beating other people in order to get it.
Finding a mate
Once we are reasonably secure, the next step towards procreating our genes is
finding a mate (and doing the deed, of course).
For this, we again may need to beat off other suitors, or at least impress our
potential partners sufficiently that they choose to mate with us rather than our
genetic competitors.
The fact that the male is larger than the female is a common sign that humans
are naturally a male-dominated society. The larger male is not only better able to
fight off other males, but they are also able to keep women in their place. The
force of genetics sadly does not know about Political Correctness.
What men want
Men and women look for different things in their partners. Men look for women
who seem likely to be able to bear plenty of strong children. They thus look for
women who:
• are young and healthy and have many childbearing years ahead of them.
• have large breasts for feeding their children.
• have wide hips so they will not have delivery problems.
Men are also easily fooled by symbolism such as red lipstick that reminds them
of a full vagina and make-up that fills in the cracks and makes the woman look
younger than she is.
Men are not monogamous by nature, and a man will happily have children with
many women, as this spreads his seed around and increases the chances of
successful propagation of his genes.
What women want
Women are not like men. A major difference is that they are generally left to
bring up the children, giving them ten to twenty years of work after their
debilitating nine months of pregnancy. They thus look for men who:
• are strong and powerful and can feed and protect them and their
children.
• are kind and thoughtful and will stay with them.
Women thus will settle for older men who have gained affluence and position in
society and who may be less likely to stray. They fight other women not with
strength, but with cunning and carefully-placed words (which they also use to...
