Reads like an essay, one source which may very well be self-referential. Even if this isn't original research, Wikipedia is not a place to publish your essay. 2 says you, says two 20:54, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete per WP:ESSAY. "Mating decisions of offspring do not always comply with the wishes of their parents... The cause of this conflict is genetic: all of the offspring’s genes come from their parents, but not all of parents’ genes are inherited by their offspring." Yeah, maybe on the planet Vulcan. This is an example of drawing the wrong conclusions from an existing source. The cumulative effect of evolutionary trends has little relevance to individual situations.

- Delete. Well-written essay, but sadly not what Wikipedia is for. (BTW, Mandsford, WP:ESSAY doesn't apply because that's really a shortcut to a category.) Erpert (let's talk about it) 23:16, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
