Sobre IBD

Anthropological field research found that people in stone-age environments use arranged marriages for cooperation. Using this information, this book proposes that arranged marriages explain humanity’s unique behavioural and physical traits.An arranged marriage is an exchange of cooperation for reproduction: 'If you cooperate with us, your son can marry our daughter, and our daughter will marry your son'. This marriage system creates a cooperative system requiring no central government or money and a mating system where there is no choice between sexual partners. All individual sexual selection is outside of marriage. This leads to conclusions: love is for extra-marital sexual relationships, married partners did not evolve to be cooperative, human intelligence is based on manipulating extremely complex marriage systems, and people use eye contact to initiate sexual interest because unmarried and unrelated men and women could not freely communicate.This book will redefine humanity as the ape that exchanges cooperation for reproduction.

  • European Hair, Eye, and Skin Color
    Peter Frost
    Europeans, especially those from northern and eastern Europe, are unique in having diverse hair and eye colors and a skin almost as pale as an albino’s. Those colors are not only brighter than the original black and brown but also 'purer'-they lie within thin slices of the visible spectrum. Overall, that color scheme is more developed in women, who naturally have a higher incid...

  • When Evolution Stops
    Armando Simon
    Evolution is a fact. The evidence for it is simply overwhelming. However, the original mechanism that generates the evolutionary process, as first put forth simultaneously by Charles Darwin and Alfred R. Wallace and which became known as Natural Selection, has now been seen to be too simplistic by some scientists aside from the hard-core neo-Darwinists who insist that nothing w...
