50% of men had children in the past.

@NateDahl76 is right, statistically speaking

Natural selection worked before, but now anyone can live to have children.

Wait what

I had 2 female ancestors for every male ancestor?

Yes. 50% of men reproduced before.

Someone redpill me on basic math

50 percent of your male ancestors didn't breed.

But almost 100 percent of your female ones did.

Because some ancestors repeat themselves @Trashboat

@Trashboat basically, you're wrong. there, you know basic math now. 😂

@Selma no that can't be possible

@YourFundamentalTheorum yeah that part I can get on board with

@Trashboat genetic tests show that there are about 2x times as many unique maternal ancestors as there are paternal ancestors

But how

it's not a necessity, it just happened to be that way

I understand what it means I just don't get how

I have some cousins that I'm related to twice. No incest involved.

@Trashboat one man two wives

@Trashboat Your male ancestors were more closely related to each other than your female ancestors.

@Jacob You sure about that

@Trashboat well, we yknow, incest was a thing back then

Holy wa I feel like an idiot even more than usual

@Distracted Yes. It's actually really simple it's explained.

Imagine we have two (Lucy and Ethel) and two men (Ricky and Fred). Lucy and Ethel both have 1 child with Ricky and none with Fred. Lucy has a boy named Ricky Jr, and, Ethel has a girl named Ethel Jr. When they grow up, Ricky Jr. and Ethel Jr. have a child. This child will have three female ancestors (Lucy, Ethel, and Ethel Jr) but only two male ancestors (Ricky and Ricky Jr). "

nice

copied from reddit upvotes pls

A sibling pair married another sibling pair. This causes their descendants to be cousins on both sides. @Distracted

Ahh

That makes sense

Yeah I was about to say

What are those names lol

ALPHA GUYS HAD MORE KIDS

WHILE BETA MEN HAD 0

BASED

and redpilled

Guys I just caught my first week long twitter ban

You only need the first independent clause
