Document Summary
Women are nurturing and in the home. Evolution 1) survive aggression, 2) reproduce attraction and mating. In our evolution theory we are right about 2 things, survival (of the fittest), reproduction because this is how we survive (ones we reproduce the best genetic self, those survive) Women can never be like men, goes against evolutionary nature. When something occurs which we don"t like, we ignore theory. Scientists who work on theories which are not agreed on, will be much more successful. Taking land is not enough must replace peoples. Women: hard-wired, in genes : attracted to older man with education and money: benefit women the most, to help protect and raise child rather than physical attraction, create picture can move towards education, power and money. Jealous if their man betrays them emotionally: look for emotional bond to last, need to have offspring survive: seek safe occupations: geared towards raising child with help of a man.
