the onna is posting for rat, yet again...

onna,
I first read the phrase "sneaky fuckers" while on the subject of
"Sea Lions", but since then I have seen the subject on deer, monkeys,
and humans.

# Do dominant Alpha Males have all the fun and leave the most
descendants, or do "Sneaky Fuckers" beat them at their own game?
# Why do women have orgasms?

...gorillas, when you've got an alpha male, this guy goes around
being a goddamn nuisance and banging his chest and so on, and—so we
assume—passing on his genes. But if you do paternity tests it turns
out he does no better than all these wimpish little gorillas who are
going to the library and all that kind of stuff. As it turns out,
there is an alternative strategy in all kinds of animals. There's the
alpha-male strategy, but this other strategy—named the "sneaky
fucker" strategy by John Maynard Smith—that is much more quiet and
surreptitious, but just as effective. It's actually very comforting
to know that...
