gentleman have always had evolution to blame for their dodgy Cassanova way — that whole spreading their cum far and wide thing . Finally , phylogenesis is coming through for woman , too !
Female sleeping around is common in chimpanzees , chickens , salmon , sea urchins and evidently man . But no one ever discover an evolutionary benefit to it . ( Although they had ascertain heap of negative , include disease and demise for the trollop female ) . Now , scientist examining crimson flour beetles paint a picture female have an innate private road to taste lots of spermatozoon to find the most compatible seed and increase the number of young that will live on .
scientist at the University of East Anglia in the United Kingdom found that inbred ( therefore handicapped fertility - wise ) female red flour beetles mating with just one male person had a 50 per cent fewer surviving offspring than non - inbred beetles . But those that mat with five males managed to have the same procreative achiever as non - inbred universe .
The enquiry will appear in the September 23 event of the journalScience .
Yes , the field of study was in beetles , so it ’s a bit of a saltation to make assumptions about humans . But if dudes can blame science for their peccadillo , charwoman should be capable to , too , dammit !
