If that is so, how can people like this exist today, after hundreds of thousands of years of human evolution? Could it be that biological evolution alone does not predetermine one's desire to procreate?
- nec4b 4y agoNo. Most of population has the desire for sex which leads procreation. It worked until we discovered contraception.
- majewsky 4y agoContraception is also available to people descended from very fertile parents, so again, the evolutionary argument does not hold.
- nec4b 4y agoOf course it holds. Desire for sex was what was under evolutionary pressure which was a direct proxy for procreation. Because of contraception this link was severed. Only recently procreation is under evolutionary pressure.
