So, his last trip was a year long, and he concentrated his studies on game acquired through hunting and other means. (Remember, this is serious, college-level research!) He discovered that a hunter "was more likely to share the wild boar with family members
rather than with people he doesn’t know or is not closely related to."
(Say, what?!) This amazing research, according to the article, confirms an evolutionary theoretical model known as “kin selection”. This “kin selection” theory takes note of the fact that if a hunter shares his wild
boar with someone else, it reduces his likelihood of survival and reproduction because he now has less to eat (forget the fact that he can go shoot another pig). So therefore (here’s the amazing conclusion)…..he must possess the “sharing gene”. The anthropologist noted that, “In my field of study, the flow
of meat went from households that had a lot of meat to closely related households who had little, which is exactly what kin selection predicts. It’s a matter of helping relatives who need it.”
This man is paid to do this research. He’s paid money! If the university will pay me, I will personally provide evidence for the “steak selection theory”, which notes that “the flow of meat will go from my grill into my
mouth”. Furthermore, I will share it with my family (and anyone else who wants some) and it won’t have a thing to do with “evolutionary processes” or the “sharing gene”.
