"Slutty" behavior is good for the species. That's the conclusion of a new wave of research on the evolutionary drives behind sexuality and parenting.
Women everywhere have been selflessly engaging in trysts outside of matrimony for a good long time and for excellent reasons. Anthropologists say female promiscuity binds communities closer together and improves the gene pool.

I guess they are more ``paleo'' then you.
There it is and there it wuz.
It has everything to do with it, considering that most of them ARE in fact, Socialists.
In a nutshell, one thing that has become clear from the parallel analysis of their research populations from various points around the world is that ethnic Europeans have the best immune systems on the planet, with substantially more ethnicity specific resistances and immunities than any other population on the planet. And they find new ones every day. Everyone has them, and most populations have resistances specific to their populations. Europeans are special in that they have a veritable cornucopia of genetic mutations that give a percentage of the European population resistance or immunity to an unusually broad range of infectious pathogens unlike other populations, including many they historically were never exposed to. One of the most famous in recent years was the discovery that 1% of ethnic Europeans are immune to HIV-1, and another 10-20% are resistant to it, a genetic resistance that couldn't have come from exposure. No one is entirely sure why the ethnic European genome has so many beneficial immune system mutations compared to the world's other populations, but it definitely gives them superior protection from infectious disease on average.
This cultural equivalency crowd sickens me. Why don''t they go back and study cannibals? They can report back what it feels like to be eaten for lunch.
With a followup program on tribal tattoos ... &;-)
