So if I understand correctly: Let’s assume a total population of 100, from which 50 X and 50 Y. At each day, there is one X available, so all Ys have to compete for that given X, while the one X in question can choose among 50 Ys. Seems consistent, and even true for some animals whose males carry sexual ornaments, while the females’ look is rather mundane. However, in some species, like deers or wolves, males compete directly against each other and females don’t seem to have much choice either.
Nevertheless, since you have written it, I suppose you have infered some interesting consequences...
Yes, there is a very large and very interesting variety found in this process.
If we take the all of the variables into consideration, all of the possible ways X and Y can work:
We have (n1)X and (n2)Y for a population of ((n1)X + (n2)Y), the ratio of (n1)X to (n2)Y, the population can increase or decrease, a gestation variable of (g)X that cooperates with breeding potential of (b)Y…
I could go on, but since this is not an attempt at a full research paper, I think my point in this respect is clear, that the potential for variation in reproductive method is huge.
The question I ask myself is just how important is this to humans?
Look at the basic survival methods of the sexes, X and Y; we eat the same foods, breath the same air, and our physiology is the same for these purposes. The only difference between X and Y is due to the nature of sexual reproduction.
I think that it is of such importance, and so basic, that when examining human culture and society it should be one of the main focal points, of any line of examination.
Thanks for clarification, upvoted.
