This applies to all sexually-reproducing species, not just humans. The male strategy is optimized for low cost, so males prefer to mate with a fit female, but will settle for "anything with a pulse". In humans, this is evidenc

I would disagree. The Constitution is a bulwark against tyranny. The US have successfully prosecuted waterboarding in the past. It usually only happens when the rule of law is suspended and then resumed. You're a young country, so mayb
