Inbreeding and shagging...

You don't think you're confusing people in real life and beetles in a massively artificial experiment?

In what way does it go against Darwin? It seems a remarkable example of reproductive adaptation in the face of severe species stress?

(Try to forget human society here for a minute - we're talking about beetles - the full text of the article is available via the BBC link)

I did read it, but I had a bad afternoon...

These beetles as a matter of course are breeding with their local group which will lead to extinction due to genetic abnormality and the other side effects of inbreeding.

They appear to be instinctively trying to widen the gene pool if caught in that situation, which we as humans can see is a good way to survive. Perhaps this is the clever 'fittest' bit after all. Maybe Darwin had a point...good luck to 'em.

Perhaps humanity has to slide downwards a few notches before it finds a way to compensate and go forward again.

Thank you for giving me hope

When I worked in a special needs School, I noticed that a lot of the kids came from the same general area. My Mum taught in that area for years and said that everyone was somehow related to everyone else, ergo, all the kids were probably the product of inbreeding :rolleyes::biggrin:

If only human women were like those beetles!

Picking up randies would be easy! You'd just turn up at the local pub, unshaved, in your pyjamas, loudly announce that you were feeling randy, take your trousers off and nonchalantly eat a bag of pork scratchings while the ladies got on with the job.

You realise that, some form of that is probably in the 'script' (if you can call it that) of a porn film? :wacko:

CLASSY!!

I saw someone who I didn't know* trying to be one of my 'friends' on Facebook using that guy's face as a picture of themselves.
I don't care much with Facebook, but boy does that guy have a memorable face! (for all the wrong reasons).


* - I am bad with names but good with faces (obviously), so I might know them and not realise. :blush:
