Are you people going to sit here and defend a premise that humans, in fact, choose their mates differently than all other animals, and this choice is based onreasoned thought? Is that what I'm reading here? We drive cars, bake pies, absolutely, but none of those behaviors that require reasoned thought has any bearing whatsoever on the limbic impulse to procreate and how a mate is chosen to procreate with. That is solely based on perceived genetic quality and social dominance of a group (which plays into the supposed quality itself) - that's whatalpha is, distilled down to the matrix numbers, if you will. That is what's behind every woman and man's choice in a mate: perceived genetic quality and perceived reproductive fitness.
Again, I want to know if you're actually arguing the opposite, the notion that the mate selection of human beings is based on their reasoning, not genetic quality. That is a purely religious position, based solely in idealistic thinking (i.e., itshould be). I really want to hear this out of all of your mouths, as I haven't so thoroughly owned a mass group of people since UO days!
