I appreciate the nod to that point.

jwb, rape is a really loaded term when describing our prehuman ancestors. At some point on the way back the primordial soup you reach the point where consent couldn’t even be remotely understood, and like Frown says there’s millions of what ifs we can make up when we start telling sociobiological stories about why we are how we are

E. O. Wilson does a great job of dismantling the Dawkins form of selfish gene explanations.

I’m not dismissing evolutionary psychology or sociobiology but in science it usually turns out that the easy intuitive answer has a million holes in it. Gotta be nuanced dude!

Honestly I’m not saying you’re wrong. I’m just saying when it comes to specifics that **** gets very complex.

If we survive we will splinter into different species and that’s a way around that.

Lmao

Goddamn! How did I miss that?

No, I'm pretty sure hunter gatherers understood rape. Not necessarily that word for it but they would recognize It's pretty straight forward. I think you underestimate their intelligence.

They existed in familial units. Women weren't just on their own. They had brothers and fathers and uncles etc to protect them.

It's not even speculation. Tribes still exist on this planet to this day.

It took like 3 billion years of previous evolution to get to huntin and gatherin

I’m way into the h&g scene dude

They had it going on

The speculation is how when and why males became on average taller

It’s not a given

And **** dude no one thinks hunter gatherers weren’t real

Dafuq?

I'm saying you can observe the tribal structure that exists today to corroborate how it is they probably existed in the past.

Not saying rape doesn't happen, but it's not the main way that women get pregnant.

I'm married. And Hawk will be happy to know that I'm planning on having kids.

Also - didn't know that about Urban and the underage girls. That's disappointing. He was a cynical bastard. He was also a dick. I didn't mind him, and I got a lot of great music recommendations from him.

even if we had a clear understanding of the genetic code for height / we do not know when or why it became a part of our sequencing. Chimp stage lemur stage sea cucumber stage a bizarre mix of all kinds of **** ???

Just saying women prefer taller dudes cased closed is straight out of my own playbook- you making it about rape and hunter gatherers is a gross simplistic explanation.

There might be a genetic advantage to something else that causes women to be shorter as a side effect. There might might might be an endless ****loads of mights. Having a theory that sounds reasonable doesn’t constitute proof.

Regarding consent ... do ladybugs consent? When I’m saying consent may be irrelevant I’m talking way back before hunter gatherers. Before homosapiens. Maybe before there were trees to chimp out in. We don’t know.

I don't remember much about him except that he didn't like me

So therefore **** that chomo
