Thanks :-)
DNA analysis is unearthing some inconvenient truths about our mating habits.
quote:
A man can be absolutely sure if a child is his or not - and it's not a trivial matter. Lest anyone think that there is nothing but misogynistic bigotry behind the concern over accurate claims of paternity, a 1999 study by the American Association of Blood Banks discovered that in 30 percent of 280,000 blood tests performed to determine paternity, the man tested was not actually the biological father of his children.
If we accept the hypothesis that women are programmed to seek diversity, why would they stick to one partner for all their children? Much better to get themselves a steady partner that can provide for the family, have a child by him, then seek another partner with different genes just in case?
Cynical moi?
