In a fascinating letter to Dr. Tatiana, a concerned observer shares intriguing tales about the sexual behavior of nearby chimpanzees. With reports of females mating with multiple males in quick succession, the letter explores hypotheses around sperm competition and male infanticide. While attempting to decipher these promiscuous tendencies, the author questions the implications for parenting and male dominance within the troop. Dr. Tatiana offers a whimsical yet insightful perspective, suggesting that perhaps a change of scenery is the answer to this raucous situation.

Dear Dr. Tatiana: I’d prefer to keep my identity secret, since I am writing to you not about me or my species but about my noisy neighbors – a group of chimpanzees. When those girls come into heat, it’s enough to make a harlot blush. Yesterday I saw a girl screw eight different fellows in 15 minutes. Another time I saw one swing between seven fellows, going at it eighty four times in eight days Why are they such sluts?
Scientists Puzzled! Theory Uno: • Sperm Competition • Some males are better at fertilizing eggs then others? Sounds good but no real evidence since there are too many variables to take into account. • Even if that is true, it does not mean that such trait passes to offspring.
Lets Look Closer at Sperm Competition Theory Acrosome Head Nucleus containing chromosomes Midpiece containing Mitochondria to provide energy for swimming Mitochondria • Provides energy for every cell including sperm. • Major component for better fertilizing sperm. • In most cases inherited from mother. Tail
The Confusion Theory: • Theory Dos…Dose…Doz @#%...TWO: • Male chimpanzees tend to kill their own offspring. This theory suggests that with such monkey gangbangs, no one knows who the daddy is. • The idea is that if a male chimp does not know that the child is his, he will less likely kill it. • There is no evidence to suggest that a mail chimp won’t kill others children though Are you my daddy?
Final Thought: Disclaimer: This is not sexual content. It is whatever your mind wants it to be. If you see dirty things, blame yourself. Dr. Tatiana says: Move out of the neighborhood!
