That's not entirely true. If it impacts your direct descendents or even distant relatives, there'll still be an impact assuming you share the genes in question.

- bigiain 8y agoIf you consider taking a role of "grandparenting" to be a potentially positive role in "your ability to reproduce", then both you and mjg59 are kind of agreeing there.
- d33 8y agoYou don't have to copulate in order to express "your ability to reproduce". Keep in mind that your family also has your genes so if you just provide resources for them to reproduce, a part of you reproduces as well. This could be a mechanism to combat fear of death, which perhaps was making people less likely to have sex?
