Discussion of everything related to the Theory of Evolution. 8
posts • Page 1 of 1 Sorry if some terminology I use might be
inadequate, I don't have any formal education in this area and
I'm not a native English speaker. A species evolves through
natural selection to become more well adapted to the environment
that surrounds it, however, the direction in which a species
evolves doesn't seem to be only a function of how well it does
finding food and escaping predators, in many cases it also
involves some competition between males which are then evaluated
and chosen by females due to some subjective criteria they use.
So I think it is fair to say that it is the female's criteria
for that evaluation that determines the direction of the
evolution of that species, i.e., if female's main criteria is
the size of the horns, the species' horn size will tend to
increase. So where did that criteria came from? The most
reasonable conclusion, to me, is that it has evolved as an
analog to what ends up improving survival od
