The human females find sense of humor attractive. That requires development of big brain. Think how shitty big brain is - it soaks up nutrition, takes insane amounts of protein to develop, makes the infant helpless for 12 years, diverts resources from muscle mass and bone, makes easier death during childbirth and permanently diminishes the ability of the mother to gather food.

This species is doomed by the chasing of this superficial attractiveness.

I can't tell if this comment is being serious about not seeing the other advantages of the bigger brain for the survival of the specie.
Take a wild guess. Especially in context of the article which says how badly it fucks the wings without giving any information how the species interacts with their wider ecosystem.
well we're the first to defy Darwinism despite of having all those negative traits.
