I actually thought of some or your discussions here last evening as I watched a film on mammals in the womb last evening on one of the cable channels...can't remember which, but it was amazing to see the developement of the embryos of dogs, an elephant and a dolphin, since they all start out at the very early stage looking human! Then they change as the various gestation periods progress.

So, how should us humans interpret our foibles, our hurts and recoveries in the process of mate selection? I certainly haven't succeeded in this area, though others seem to have done so. At the same time, I see no real role model I want to emulate. Sorry if this is too pointed and personal a question, but curious to hear your interpretation of those of us who have failed.
