Your answer was reproductive fitness. Not all societies are closely linked but are in kinship and many places practice arranged marriages. In fact, this used to be the norm in Western societies. Perhaps I invented the gun but my wife was arranged for me long before. The Darwin argument is also misplaced since people want different things in partners. At least on the human level it's not just horns and feathers.FOS » 10 Aug 2022, 5:43 pm » wrote: ↑ Reacting to stimuli is not sentience.
And humans act as an entire society... not as individuals. Your question about priests makes as much sense as asking why worker ants cannot reproduce. The whole community is the organism not one man.
Nothing is easier than defending the status quo.
