Can we look at species like Betta fish (I believe here the males do the hatching) to confirm such hypotheses?

- HelloNurse 5y agoFor typical oviparous fish the cost and timing of reproduction is similar between males and females (dumping a large mass of sperm vs. dumping a large mass of eggs, then taking care of the children) and fancy reproductive organs are irrelevant technology.
- riedel 5y agoExactly, however, the parent post also tried to expand this to a more general concept of evolutionary pressure and competitive behavioural patterns as I understood. If that is true we can solve a lot of 'problems' in the world by simply having the men doing at least most of the child care for the first few month of a toddlers life to compensate for the for the month before.
