new evolutionary reproductive biology

Page history last edited by 1nfinite zer0 14 years, 5 months ago

New evolutionary reproductive biology (NERB) is the set of conditions that is in majority as a result of the evolution war. It consists of an agreement of citizens to uphold the evolutionary potential and strong genetic diversity of the Shashnimyn species for future generations.

individuals are not to reproduce until an older age
- increases total selection pressure before heritabiltiy
- selects for further longevity
- decreases unsustainable population growth
reproduction is a privilege, not a right
- those unable to breed are still welcome to be parents
- adoption is the norm of all parents
  - biological link to individual child less important than a favoured child in the tribe
- sterilization is not required, but encouraged.
  - violations of breeding agreements can revoke citizenship
    - for disabled individuals, the care of the tribe is worth far more than a child in the litter you can't be sure is yours anyways
breeding restrictions
- vary at low, med, high resource availabilities
- innocents are allowed to wander off
  - less biological investment after weaning.
    - community raises children, youth adopted when useful
  - some innocents die, some go wild, some come back to work/train/learn
- innocents are cared for until later in their lives
  - usually when the reproductive rate is not sustainable. ie, in areas that have to limit the number of total children, but also have to promote survival (e.g. a desert (low resource availability) infested with predatory monsters (high incident mortality))
