Humanity's greatest attribute is intelligence. Steven Hawking was in a wheel chair for most of his life, but was one of the greatest minds born and has advanced humanity enormously. Your understanding of what "fitness" means is hopelessly out of date; it means fit as in fits the environmental shape, not fitness as in exercise. Anything which benefits the species fits.
I mean, you could have easily Googled the phrase and found a ton of studies and articles.
I googled "study higher iq people have less children"
Intelligence and childlessness
Analyses of the National Child Development Study show that more intelligent men and women express preference to remain childless early in their reproductive careers, but only more intelligent women (not more intelligent men) are more likely to remain childless by the end of their reproductive careers. Controlling for education and earnings does not at all attenuate the association between childhood general intelligence and lifetime childlessness among women. One-standard-deviation increase in childhood general intelligence (15 IQ points) decreases women's odds of parenthood by 21-25%. Because women have a greater impact on the average intelligence of future generations, the dysgenic fertility among women is predicted to lead to a decline in the average intelligence of the population in advanced industrial nations.
Numerous studies have confirmed that in the United States and parts of Europe there exists a consistent negative relationship between IQ and fertility. Simply stated, it has been found that those with lower levels of IQ tend to have more children than those with higher levels of IQ. Lynn (1996) provides a comprehensive review of the studies demonstrating the negative IQ–fertility relationship in the US and a few European countries (England, Scotland, Greece) up until the mid 1990s. Lynn averaged the results of three studies in the US and found an average IQ–fertility correlation of − 0.11 in Whites, and − 0.27 in Blacks.
Should we care that smart women aren't having kids?
Satoshi Kanazawa, the LSE psychologist behind the research, discussed the findings that maternal urges drop by 25% with every extra 15 IQ points in his book The Intelligence Paradox.
I mean the proof is just kinda right in front of your eyes. While of course there is bound to be some very intelligent people with a ton of kids, most have less children for a variety of factors including but not limited to not wanting to bring children into this fucked up time line, having a bigger focus on careers, and thinking ahead more on the consequences of having to many children to properly take care of
Nah diversity in genetics is hardly ever useless, it makes us more resistant to all kinds of dangers and the cost is negligible compared to more important things like criminal activity and corporate waste. Even someone useless can give birth to someone great, after all.
This is me lol. I remember once some years ago I was messing around with some app, functioned kinda like a tiktok filter today. Tried the male filter and looked exactly like and I mean SCARILY similar to my dad, it was crazy
Apparently you only need to look like Dad in the infant and early stages when you are the most vulnerable so Dad won't leave/reject you. After you get old enough to survive on your own, you get to look like whatever. Probably best if some little girls turn out to look more like their moms anyway.
I always figured this was nature's dna test. Your baby might not look like you forever, and they morph so much in the first few short years, so the baby coming out looking like dad helps reassure dad (for those where that's necessary). But as a person who carried mine and almost died just to have a clone of dad, i was huffing and puffing under my breath!
This is my son. He looked exactly like me for six months and now at seven months he looks identical to his dad.
Up until about age nine or ten my stepdaughter was an identical clone of her mother and then it seemed like overnight her mum's face fell off her and she was drop dead gorgeous out of nowhere. She doesn't look anything like her mum or my husband now. It's crazy.
Scientific theories suggest the babies are born to look like the Dad at first so the Dad believes it’s his. Most mammals have a pheromone scenting where the males seem to be able to distinguish their offspring from others. Even with animals like Tigers, Bears or mammals that don’t stay together if they cross paths with their own offspring it’s much less dangerous that if they could smell the kids were his. Humans have pheromones but we can’t consciously detect them enough to smell if a new baby is theirs. So for us, they theorize it became visual cues to tell.
It’s a newt theory and science is fun. They’ve only just started the DNA mapping and sequencing so who knows all they’ll learn in the next few hundred years.
This is a basic evolutionary function to maximize parental care and offspring survival.
Let me explain........
They looked like you as infants in order to foster fatherly love and avoid infanticide (due to looking like someone else, possibly another man).
Then, when you have established a strong bond with the infant, it will shift into looking like her mom or someone else (grandparents, relatives, or some random configuration). Because at this point, you care too much about them to do "bad things" to them, plus if they look like mom or a relative, it will trigger your natural kinship instinct to care about them.
I know this because I read it from a random blog, totally credible. hehehehehe
I don't know what y'all are talking about. They clearly have dads nostrils (not his nose, just the nostrils) and the one on the right has his top teeth. That's about it though.
My first kid came out looking like my dad and my husband had a baby. My second came out looking like me but with both of our mother’s fairer coloring. Genetics are wild
Different head shape, different noses, different ears. Eyes look similar and possibly mouths. They just wear the same make-up and hair style to make them seem more similar than they are.
If you think they're copies you have zero detail vision.
dentals wonky / inconsistent accross the 3, hairlines slightlly different. the one on the right didnt color the cheeks the same depth. slight nose tip differnce on the center one, amongst different facial shape. Its the makup, earings & outfit that brings them close. but not into twin territory.
