@@darksector1389 didn’t really “become allies” more like dragged into fighting the same foe. Soviets were basically soloing their part of the war

[@___Truth___]

@@seyamrahman1002 Your wrong. America supported the Soviets through Lend-lease, giving the USSR some $180 Billion dollars of goods and supplies to fuel their war effort against the common enemy, far before America entered the War. In any practical sense that is an Ally.

To: Sophia A Raghunanan - KL is still with this group. He now spends his time mostly with the older males and avoiding the younger ones.

[@mahranch841]

I don't think he was attacking that elderly female to "assert his power". There's a more likely reason, one grounded in biology: She wouldn't mate with him. When females Chimps get old, and can no longer have babies, their sex drive evaporates. Not only that but her "equipment" no longer works, so her private areas won't "accommodate" the male -- if the males try to mate anyways, it's extremely painful. Females can reject a males advance a couple times but there is a breaking point with these males. When they hit it, they start attacking the females, bullying them into submission. If the elderly female isn't giving in, it's just a matter of time until she suffers some kind of injury which can become fatal (broken infected bones, sepsis, clots, hemorrhaging, etc) And from the Chimp's perspective, this is a good thing. Elderly female chimps can't produce offspring anymore, so all the food she is eating/resources she's consuming is a bit of a waste if you ask me.

[@hawhafunnyraffs5568]

Indeed. A reproductive resource that has run out.

Many things are more complex than what’s on the surface, but not everyone’s brain is complex enough to understand it. This is why things are simplified. I sure as hell don’t know about chimp culture, so it explains to it me pretty well.

[@christiancampbell5465]

Yes and no. I think the theory is popular because anyone can walk outside and see that certain people are afforded greater status and reproductive success depending on specific characteristics such as assertiveness, physical attractiveness and the ability to procure resources. Humans are just apes after all.
