Chicup,

Thats an excellent post and very interesting food for thought. The bizarre irony with China is that it is a problem they deliberately created through the strong desire to only have sons and discard daughters (not exactly effective long term). Its amazing the holes humans can dig for themselves.

Also great insight on the Inca. I wasnt aware of that. Not surprising though, that Darwinian drivers manifest in particularly nasty ways in a higher order species.

Youre right, war is natural in a world of finite resources.

BTW - all of this is exactly what I mean in terms of "poly" not being "natural" in the sense in which poly is used in an alternate lifestyle discussion. Women being treated as a resource by the alpha class is, possibly, inevitable.
