"Most species do their own evolving, making it up as they go along, which is the way Nature intended.

"For a man, the optimal evolutionary strategy is to disseminate his genes as widely as possible, given his few minutes (or, alas, seconds) of investment in each encounter. It all makes simple evolutionary sense, since a woman invests a good deal of time and effort -a nine month long, risky, strenuous pregnancy, in each offspring. Naturally she has to be very discerning in her choice of sexual partners."

Life

H. L. Mencken

Perception

Quote_1.png
H. L. Mencken

Government

Quote_1.png
H. L. Mencken
