Men Are Willing to Adopt Children: Against Darwinian Fitness

menAccording to the report from National Survey of Family Growth, men are more willing to adopt children compared to women.  American men ages between 18- 44 are more than two times as likely as women in the same age group to have adopted a child. It showed that more than 1.2 million men and 613,000 women had adopted children. The reason for this difference could be partly due to men getting married and adopting their spouse’s children from a previous relationships. We all are designed to pass our gene to next generation, but this is a threat to our survival and fitness.
