Talk:Evolutionary mismatch

	Evolutionary biology portal This article is part of WikiProject Evolutionary biology, an attempt at building a useful set of articles on evolutionary biology and its associated subfields such as population genetics, quantitative genetics, molecular evolution, phylogenetics, and evolutionary developmental biology. It is distinct from the WikiProject Tree of Life in that it attempts to cover patterns, process and theory rather than systematics and taxonomy.

This is similar to what Simon Sheppard calls "invalidity of instincts" and "the basic problem" in The Tyranny of Ambiguity. He says that because of the existence of condoms which will set the costs of sex to practically nil, there is no biological reason why females should refuse sex with him, yet females have evolved instincts to limit the amount of sex they give to men and who they do it with. A clear example of mismatch theory.--X sprainpraxisL (talk) 12:05, 20 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
