On average about 10 percent of children aren’t the genetic offspring of their supposed biological fathers. That’s one out of ten people you may know. It could be almost a billion people worldwide. In 1996, Professor Robin Baker published the book Sperm Wars: The Science of Sex and it essentially elaborates on sperm competition theory. If competition is heritable, females fertilized by the most competitive sperm will gain through the greater reproductive success of their sons. There are three categories of sperm, egg-getters, killers, and blockers. A study in the UK showed that 4 percent of people are conceived through sperm warfare. This internal dynamic is known to drive subconscious behavior and shapes the sexual behavior of every man, woman and child. The research behind these concepts that began in 1985, examine million year old programming coded into human biology. Some cultures condemn infidelity and masturbation however these acts have been found to be ancient strategic advantages toward successful human reproduction.
We hear part two of the interview with Dr. Baker about his book Sperm Wars: The Science of Sex that has outlined thirty-seven short stories of people engaged in many types of sexual behavior. Professor Robin Baker is an evolutionary biologist who authored nearly one hundred scientific papers, six academic books and is the author of four popular science books: Sperm Wars; Baby Wars; Sex in the Future; and Fragile Science.
