Darwin; the rapist; the orangutan and plowing
Posted: Thu Oct 08, 2009 3:14 am[I in now way support or encourage rape, this is a study of the evolutionary psychology of chimpanzees and how that behavior affected human social behavior…I should not have to say this but I will DO NOT RAPE OTHERS IT IS IMORRAL AND ILLEGAL!]
Female Choice
Darwinism favors rapists in the passing of genes. Large, aggressive males that will stop at nothing to pass on their genes. The most genetically successful person according to “the Guinness book of records” was Moulay Ismail the bloodthirsty. He was credited with 888 children, 860 more than it is possible for a female to have. It’s a little chilling to think that someone with the nickname ‘the bloodthirsty’ could have almost 1,000 children; but evolution almost always favors the most chilling genes.
In orangutans the females sometimes resist mating and are held down and forcefully subdued and raped. There is evidence that the rapists—often adolescents- fail to impregnate, but for the sake of argument let us assume that they are at least regularly successful. Then the female in sheerly Darwinian terms is better off mating with a good rapist. A large, strong, sexually aggressive male. So that she may have offspring that are large, strong and sexually aggressive and they pass on lots of genes to other mothers. In this case her choice and evolutions choice are two different things.
In the broadest sense, the same logic could apply to any primate species. Once females in general begin putting out the slightest resistance; than a female that puts out a little more résistance is exhibiting a valuable trait. For what ever trait it takes to penetrate strong resistance, then the offspring are likely to have that same trait. Thus in purely Darwinistic terms coyness on the female part ensures stronger offspring.
Now plow in set. She is only doing what evolution programmed her to do…weed out the weak.
