“My genes” are carried by a really large number of people. It’s pretty much guaranteed many will reproduce.
I die because nature has selected humans to have a certain lifespan.
In many species, almost no individuals reproduce. Worker ants never have children. Same with worker bees. Plenty of species select have some/most members not reproduce to protect assist species.
- mantas 4y agoAnts are not mammals so procreation and societal structure is very different from humans. Same in bees etc. From evolutionary perspective, only your genes are „your“ genes. And from tribal perspective, procreation of each (quality) member is for the better. P.S. At some points in human history we had a similar only-chosen-procreate tendency. But it was overturned. I'd argue that for the better. Humans who have a stake in the future seem to care more about the society. Compared to ants-like society where warlord procreates and the rest of men just guards his harem.
