For evidence of our true sexual natures when artifice and compromise are stripped away, we look to the world around us and watch it go with our lying eyes… and if distrustful of our powers of observation we look to the historical record for an idea of how our distant ancestors navigated the sexual market.

One such very distant ancestor to humans, it turns out, was polygynous (one man, many women).

The Y chromosome tree for gorillas is very shallow, which fits with the idea that very few male gorillas (alpha males) father the offspring within groups,” Hallast continued. “By contrast, the trees in chimpanzees and bonobos are very deep, which fits with the idea that males and females mate with each other more indiscriminately.” […]

Study leader Mark Jobling, also a geneticist from the University of Leicester, noted that “humans look much more like gorillas than chimps” when considering Y-chromosome data and mtDNA.

“It’s interesting to compare the shapes of the trees between humans and our great-ape relatives,” he said. “This suggests that over the long period of human evolution our choice of partners has not been a free-for-all, and that it’s likely that humans have practiced a polygynous system — where a few men have access to most of the women, and many men don’t have access — over our evolutionary history as a species. This is more like the gorilla system than the chimpanzee ‘multimale-multifemale’ mating system.”

A figure that gets bounced around the realtalkosphere frequently is the 80/40 ratio: 80% of women, but only 40% of men ever reproduced, over the course of human history and up until the relatively unique modern era. If this number is accurate, its implications are astounding.

One, it confirms a degree of influence on mating systems from female hypergamy. Women’s deeply hypergamous compulsion to prefer the shared company of an alpha male over the monopolized company of a beta male is a tough truth for most to accept. Though it is a universal truth subject to mitigation by recent evolution just like any human trait, and certain races of women may have been selected for a less hypergamous disposition.

Two, it suggests an ultraviolent past, far removed from the noble savage fantasies percolating in liberal minds, when death stalked men constantly. If murder, lethal accidents, and animal maulings were common throughout most of pre-modern human history, then there wouldn’t be many men surviving to reproductive age, skewing the sex ratio.

Three, most ominously, it portends dysgenic evolution in modern societies. We are near a 1:1 ratio of reproductive success for women and men in Western societies. This is a great egalitarian achievement from the perspective of those who would lose in a sexual market governed by the laws of nature, but the equal mating field may come with a stiff (heh) price: too many low fitness misfits passing on their mutational loads to future generations. Nature, in the end, always wins. No Title IX, condom, or Pill will thwart Nature from her appointed mission of culling the losers and rewarding the winners. And as of now, it appears the winners of tomorrow are those with healthy genomes and an aversion to contraceptives and the sex and the city liefstyle.

    About the men reproducing thingie, likely a whooole lotta men (big percentage) were slaves and didn’t reproduce, being kept from female slaves which were kept for the men in the master’s household. Slavery was common throughout most of human history. Think of Abraham’s wife Sarah who had the slave Hagar. Think of Jacob’s wives’ slaves. I have read that 25% of Romans were slaves. Romans often killed the men and enslaved the women and children of conquered cities.

    • Before agriculture (in the Palaeolithic, a period much longer than history) slavery would not have been a factor; there wasn’t much to gain from enslaving someone, and it wasn’t easy to keep someone confined. Rather than slavery, violent death would have been the main reason some individuals failed to reproduce.

      This reminds me of how feminist spin and disinformation infects every subject nowadays. I remember hearing in college about a certain tribe (I forget where; Papua New Guinea, perhaps) where the women spoke a separate language from that of the men. The (female) professor insinuated that the women had had to develop their own separate language in secret so that they could communicate without their boorish evil men overhearing.

      I remember thinking that it might also be possible that the women were just speaking their ancestral language and that the conquering men had killed any man from that language’s tribe before keeping the women.

      Now I see I was mistaken: about the latter idea being “possible”. It wasn’t “possible”; it was a dead-eye certainty, and the professor’s theory was only thinkable if you view the world through polarized lenses that filter out anything that doesn’t see female oppression anywhere and everywhere.

    best observational evidence of this theory is how a man can’t handle a woman (physically, emotionally, mentally) until he can relate to her as if she were his child and he her father. likewise a woman won’t/can’t submit to a man who is too close to being her equal. this means a he needs a good 10-20 years jump on her in age. probably a few alphas horded most of the females while the young bucks fought each other over the scraps, or until one of them was big and strong enough to displace the alpha

    this is probably at the root of hypergamy. her DNA drives her to the safety of the chieftain

    All this is relevant enough for the millions of years of hominid foraging, but since the rise of agriculture, there’s less and less point in identifying alpha males and opportunities for polygyny with physical prowess, though it probably still applies among many blacks. For yellows and browns, alphas are mostly just the despotic descendants of strong ancestors. In the more earnest, egalitarian white world, alphas were those cads, relatively few in number because of the danger, willing to risk the womanizing reproductive strategy, in which charm is far more important than strength. And even with those cads, the strategy is all implicit: they do it for the risk, the fun and the sex; the offspring are just a by-product.

    Fast forward to feminism and emasculation, and being a cad is hardly a risk at all, allowing those greater betas like me, who populate the Chateau but are not naturals, a splendid opportunity to learn the real nature of women and use it for more and better sex. But it is a window that will only be open for the blink of an eye in evolutionary time. For one thing, I bet the dad genes are outbreeding the cad genes right now. That’s the downside of offspring being just a by-product in the age of birth control.

    “Under the assumption of random mating, this would mean that on average two females reproduce for each reproducing male. The difference in the variance of reproductive success between the sexes certainly contributes to this observation, as does the fact that whereas bonobo females often move to new groups upon maturation, males tend to stay within their natal group20. Because both current and ancestral X/A ratios are similar to each other and also to some human groups (Fig. 4), this suggests that they may also have been typical for the ancestor shared with humans.” 40 x 2 = 80

The patriarchal society strives to establish social order through monogamy and offering mating opportunities for all males within a society via lifelong marriage — and this strategy leads to higher IQs and cultural advancement.
