- Sociobiology also measures differential reproductive success and not just
- immediate survival value for one individual.
- I suppose we could stretch our imaginations to believe that those ancestors
- who demanded space during high-vulnerability bodily functions enjoyed greater
- reproductive success than those who did not.
- If we men always stayed in locked stalls, we probably wouldn't need to call
- on these atavistic responses. But then we'd never get to see the first few
- minutes of the second half of a football game either.
