What is genetic investment?
What will be an ideal response?
Genetic investment is the idea from sociobiology that everything we do is driven by our genetic strain. Love between two people is a matter of genes: The decision to settle down with a partner and procreate is based on the desire to make a genetic investment in continuing our line.
Traditional definitions of love are thus displaced; people who share the same genetic attitudes are likely to attract each other. Even family ties result from sharing a similar gene pool.
