Likely a very new concept on an evolutionary timescale, and competing against the survival chance cost of more mouths to feed during an acute resource shortage.

Likely a very new concept on an evolutionary timescale, and competing against the survival chance cost of more mouths to feed during an acute resource shortage.
It seems absolutely not a coincidence that the much faster, by orders of magnitude, process of human history got set in motion at a time when grandpatenting, as an evolutionary concept, wasn't quite finished yet.
- astazangasta 7y agoAbsolutely not a new concept, kin selection is why parents care for offspring.
- gowld 7y agoParents caring for offspring (vs spray and pray of hundreds of eggs) is very new on evolutionary timescales.
- astazangasta 7y agoIf by "very new" you mean 250M years, then maybe.
