Best Quote by Alexis Carrel
“To progress again, man must remake himself. And he cannot remake himself without suffering. For he is both the marble and the sculptor. In order to uncover his true visage he must shatter his own substance with heavy blows of his hammer.”

“We know that the earlier estimates of paternity uncertainty rates, that is the person that you believe to be the father is actually not the genetic father, those rates turn out to be far lower than initially thought.
So it used to be believed in people including me that the rates were like 10, 12 percent paternity uncertainty rates. But it turns out large scale studies and meta-analyses now reveal it's more like 1 to 2 percent.
And so what that means is that very, very few women are pursuing this dual mating strategy, getting genes from one guy and resource from another. Now of course, it's possible that ancestrally it was more common and that may be in studies of more traditional societies, it might reveal that that's currently unknown.
But I think that the mate-switching hypothesis to explain why women have affairs is much more plausible. There's a lot more evidence in support of it compared to this dual mating strategy hypothesis.”
