    They should have baboons on Ricky Lake and Jerry Springer instead of blood tests! AND instead of their other guests! At least the level of intelligence on the show would go up, and probably the level of civilised conduct.

    It does, actually - it's technically called 'paternal uncertainty'. Benefit for females is that the males don't know whose child it is, and so MULTIPLE males MAY support the woman and child... The risk is, of course, that they may also be rejected by the male(s) entirely.
