    yes, that’s the point I’m trying to reinforce. There has to be “a reason” that getting stupider after mating is a succesful trait, otherwise it wouldn’t be there.

    The question that was asked was: what is the reason? So far I’ve only seen speculation in this thread

      As was said before: The genes are already passed onto the next generation. It doesn’t matter if the parents become stupid now. There’s no evolutionary advantage to become more or less stupid at this point.

      It became like it is now by some random chance(s).
