130 CONTROLLED NATURAL SELECTION 



order to make themselves easily visible to 

 their enemies, other tribes. It must be re- 

 membered that savage man delighted in fight- 

 ing; he did not seek always to take his 

 enemy unawares, but rather desired to meet 

 him in fair and open battle. 



There appears to be little in civilisation, 

 to which this Theory can be applied. The 

 present-day demand of the female for some 

 recognition of her great value to the race, 

 may possibly be a cry of Nature, a call from 

 out the past. 



Human society illustrates the conclusions 

 which were arrived at in Chapter IV by show- 

 ing that competition does not lead to advance- 

 ment, which is best gained by environmental 

 differentiation or specialisation. 



Finally, it may be said that species rid them- 

 selves of males in the following ways : 



1. Sacrifice them to enemies. 



2. Cause them to destroy one another. 



3. Themselves destroy them. 



4. Or control their production.
