Furthermore, Pietro failed to notice that there was a time in the dawn of humanity when there was no society, no hierarchy, no wealth…Status was strictly correlated with physical fitness, which is connected with genes. Or should I say, in that primitive society it was more connected with genes than ever after. Sex drive is essentially about genotypes. The key premise of evolutionary psychology and biology is that humans are fitted to the Environment of Evolutionary Adaptedness (EEA) and this is believed to be the the early Pleistocene i.e. 1.8 million years ago. There was society in the EEA but this would have resembled non-human primate society and the dominance that was possible through physical strength would have produced a hierarchy (just like non-human primate social structure) and there also would have been “wealth” in the form of access to food and to females for mating (again just like non-human primate social structure). This is a mind-bending idea but the central contention of evolutionary psychology is that parts of our neurology — figuratively speaking — “think” they are in the EEA. Key parts of our neurology evolved to suit the EEA and we still have this neurology — unchanged. This puts a sharp point on the contention that sex drive and attraction are fundamentally, essentially and inescapably about genes and their propagation. Our EEA shaped neurology does not “care” about language or anything that can be readily faked, it evolved — via natural and sexual selection — to be sensitive to phenotypical markers that accurately and honestly portray the genotype and survival of our species is largely the result of the soundness of this mechanism. https://codimd.caa-ins.org/s/B1lVUWWhll https://md.renjikai.com/s/_QgCY6gDG https://pad.eisfunke.com/s/Q6s27Y4WW https://notes.simeonreusch.com/s/3QYvE-csQ https://pad.leinelab.org/s/1MjlcHTlI https://pad.wdz.de/s/iU_xOECsk https://zapiski.nejckrasevec.si/s/WiDnktMpS https://md.gafert.org/s/WKPGI4ZGt https://doc.sonoj.org/s/na9IlaEEU https://docs.localcharts.org/s/YXhkG2ha7
