Alpha male death rate and war's effect on society

[sapperfitz82]

I think in our current society most of us breed just fine, or at least have the strong desire to do so. Whether we do well at childrearing (not the same as overall fertility, of course) is another question.

Not to get too deep into the weeds, but the birth rate in most European nations, especially when controlling for non-Europeans, is dismally low. Take from the 1.5 or less birth rate what you will, I figure the women just aren't impressed enough with the men to rear their young.
