Post #193,492 by daemon 2/7/05 6:40:18 PM Reply	well if I were a hermaphrodyte I would never leave the house but seriously, it wouldnt work because there would still need to be a symbiotic relationship of some sort for late term and 20 days or so after birth when the pregnant parent is not as mobile and is more vunerable. There would have to be a division of work with something. Prior to late term and 20 days after labor a female is as capable in a hunter gatherer society of doing just that. The current design of slot/tab with chemical urgings to continue on seems to be working well. regards, daemon I love her dearly, far beyond any creature I've ever known, and I can prove it, for never once in almost seventy years of married life have I taken her by the throat.

My point being that specifics of how things work for homo sapiens don't necessarily apply to the animal kingdom as a whole.

There has been many methods of running a herd of humans, most depend on the geographical complexity of the are they live in. regards, daemon I love her dearly, far beyond any creature I've ever known, and I can prove it, for never once in almost seventy years of married life have I taken her by the throat.
