/> Courtship By: Shaun Ranade Our minds evolved not
only as survival machines, but as courtship masters. Every single one of
our ancestors has been able to live for a while but also convince at least
one partner to produce offspring. Darwin realized that natural selection
was of equal importance as ual selection because females often preferred to mate with males with external ornaments or exaggerated features of morphology. The human mind and the peacock’s tail have similar biological functions.The peacock is tail evolved because peahens preferred larger, more colorful tails. Peacocks would survive better with shorter, lighter, drabber tails but, the ual choices of peahens have made peacocks evolve big, bright plumage that takes energy to grow and time to preen, and makes it harder to escape from predation. The tail makes no sense as an adaptation for survival, but it makes perfect sense as an adaptation for courtship.Similarly, the evolution of the human mind has brought prolificacy to art, morality, language, and creativity. Both the human mind and peacock tail have evolved to be used as courtship tools to attract potential partners. Another majestic bird whose courting rituals are similar to humans is the Crane. Said to live one thousand years, it is often used in Japanese cultural ceremonies such as marriage. Cranes dance to reinforce pair bonds, to release tension, and sometimes simply for pleasure. During typical Crane courtship there is a dancing ceremony where they prance stiff-legged around each other, alternately bowing with their wings extended out showing off their plumage. Then they leap high in air with their legs dangling underneath them and finally they perform a duet in unison solidifying their bond. Once a firm pair bond has been established Cranes usually remain mated for life, although they will replace a mate that has died or not met expectations. With humans ccourtship is the period before engagement or marriage. During courtship couples get to know each other by sending each other flowers, songs, gifts and things that constitute wooing. Courtship also decides if there will be a firm bond. Just like Cranes humans remain mated for life, although they will replace a mate that has died or not met expectations. After studying different animals and researching courtship I’ve concluded that human courtship is much more complex than a simple dance or the preening of plumage. Unlike other animals our bodies have not adapted as dramatically to each other’s desires. But, this is not to say that our minds have not changed, they have because our aesthetic desires have increased. Men have subjected women to unusual systems such as rib cracking corsets and crippling foot bindings. Today it is in fashion for women to look waif and emaciated. It is amazing how different living beings choose their mates based on their dancing, their flamboyant plumage, or body appearance. Aesthetics dominate ual selection when truly it should be a personality and not outward appearances.
