Question for ev bio people about the handicap principle in sexual selection.pic.twitter.com/DWVJi864Ez
@KevinSimler @sarahdoingthing Males who excel at courtship (with handicapped characteristics) are proving to females that they have -
@KevinSimler @sarahdoingthing a strong phenotype as they have withstood the downside the handicap would confer
@jmzwar @sarahdoingthing Yes. But why do females prefer males who handicap themselves (and then overcome it), rather than no-nonsense males?
@KevinSimler @jmzwar why don't companies just hire smart, industrious people with no useless degree? it's too expensive to tell
@sarahdoingthing @jmzwar No that's a bad analogy! Better analogy is if someone got a degree with one hand tied behind back. Would u hire
@sarahdoingthing @jmzwar over a person who got same degree w/ both hands? Yes. But what if the first person couldn't untie their other hand?
@sarahdoingthing @jmzwar Then the two candidates have sent you the same signal about how well they're likely to perform.
@KevinSimler future performance is irrelevant to the kind of zero-paternal-care systems with handicap signaling
@KevinSimler but education incurs monetary and opportunity costs, same temporal signal as "I survived with these cool feathers"
