That’s biologically impossible..................

It’s always amusing to me, when they cite studies in the animal kingdom of various behaviors, and then apply those to humans.

Occasionally, we see studies of homosexual behavior in the animal kingdom, for example. These studies are reported, I’m sure, to show that homosexuality is found among animals, so then, should be considered normal human behavior.

"Instead, researchers thought the most successful strategy for males would be to put more time and energy into outcompeting other males for a mate, as chimps do."

They did!

Does that make the babysitters the gorilla her dreams?

[Blue Collar Christian]

If men were the ones having babies, they would more likely be staying home taking care of them.

So are they using come kind of artificial womb to grow babies inside of male gorillas?

Same idea as taking your sister’s baby to the park
With no wedding ring on.

Easy to understand. Female gorillas take a look at prospective mates’ resumes and her own observations of their behavior and choose the guy most willing to help out. They’re not out making a living, for heaven’s sake, so they have to bring something to the table,... er bed,... er tree.

No brainer. Helping with the kiddos is a known aphrodisiac. Just ask my wife.

[dainbramaged]

The male gorillas are obviously smart enough to figure this out on their own.
If they open a machine shop, give me a call.

[Tell It Right]

Helping with the kids is attractive to conservative women...as long as the men still get out and work for a living too.

Were those babysitter dad gorillas always on the phone when they were supposed to be watching the kid?

[raybbr]

So, we need to stop all those welfare dads from babysitting, right?
