What the love is...

Recently I found a popular-scientific article, written by Anatolity Protopopov.
His work is kind of view on relationships from the angle of sexual selection. The author’s thesis seemed to me well-founded and explaining lot of things, which I couldn’t answer earlier.

Protopopov marks out two types of selection: natural and sexual. The first one is based on the statement that individual organisms with favorable traits are more likely to survive and reproduce than those with unfavorable traits. This way of selection is very slow, as it is very passive process. And this type of selection almost doesn’t work for humans world with our current humanity, high level of life, medicine ect.

But thanks God, we will not deteriorate and evolution didn’t stop, as we have the second type of selection, much faster and effective.
It calls sexual selection and was discovered first time by Darvin. It formulates as - individual organisms with favorable traits are more likely to take part in reproduction and leave their posterity.
In the animals world it works like only few the strongest, lead males are allowed to match with all females of population. Others males are out of work and pretend not to want.

With example of animals author determined instinctual breeding behavior for the males:

For realization of advantages of sexual selection males tend to match the biggest amount of females. They are fighters for AMOUNT of posterity, as their number of prolificacy is unlimited.

So, for males is a very natural target – more of good and different female bodies.

With the same reason the females, having limited posterity, tend to the highest QUALITY of their children. Thereby the females are exactly this selecting subject. They interested in the enlarging of a range of the potential partners, as this lightens the choice of the best one, rejecting others.

Thus, the normal breeding instinct of a female – the more different and good male’s hearts.

On the strength of above statements author makes an analysis of men’s dominant lines, polygamy, wife’s adultery and lot of others interesting deductions.
