    DescriptionTrước khi câu chuyện về Romeo và Juliet được phổ biến, các cặp tình nhân trẻ tuổi sống với cha mẹ thường không được các đấng sinh thành đồng ý với sự lựa chọn người yêu của mình. Ngay cả trong những nền văn hóa nơi cha mẹ nắm vai trò kiểm soát tuyệt đối về sự lựa chọn hôn thê/hôn phu của con cái, cha – con vẫn có thể xung khắc với nhau về chuyện người yêu. Đối với các học giả về tiến hóa, sự xung đột này đặc biệt gây ấn tượng, do nó có thể khiến con người thù hằn nhau đến tột đỉnh, và như trường hợp của Romeo và Juliet, kết cục là cái chết thảm thương cho đôi lứa yêu nhau, nhưng dường như các bên liên quan chẳng bao giờ rút ra bài học. Vậy tại sao cuộc xung đột trên lại tồn tại một cách dai dẳng xuyên suốt lịch sử loài người?

    Description¡Darwin tenía razón! Incluso en la compleja relación entre suegros y yernos: se resisten a los pretendientes de las hijas como una forma de garantizar la equidad en su familia.

    En la comedia La familia de mi novia, el enfermero Gaylord “Greg” Focker (Ben Stiller) conoce al padre de su futura esposa, Jack Byrnes (Robert DeNiro), un ex agente de la CIA que encuentra que él es muy poca cosa para su hija. Y hace toda clase de maniobras (como revisar su expediente judicial, drogarlo e inventarle un hijo) para sabotear la relación. Obvio, busca evitar que su hija se case con quien considera un mequetrefe, en una desaprobación que por siglos se ha repetido en los pololeos del mundo.
    Es algo normal. Esa clase de cosas que a nadie sorprende y que un nuevo estudio refuerza descubriendo la razón: los padres no pueden evitar tener esta actitud, porque han evolucionado para buscar el mejor partido para sus hijas. ¿La razón? Como están cableados para entregar a todos sus hijos la misma cantidad de recursos (en tiempo, atención y dinero) esperan que todos en un futuro sigan demandando esa justa medida. Por eso, si alguna de sus hijas termina con alguien que no es capaz de mantener ese equilibrio, ellos deberán intervenir para compensar. Y eso es lo que buscan evitar. Por eso tantas esperas en la entrada, malas caras y “cuáles son sus intenciones”.
    “Desde hace tiempo sabemos que padres e hijos tienen un conflicto evolutivo. Los padres tienen la misma relación con todos sus hijos, pero los hijos creen que su propia descendencia es más importante que la de sus hermanos. Esto da lugar a un conflicto sobre la distribución de los recursos”, dice a Tendencias Piet van den Berg, investigador de la U. de Groningen (Holanda) que lideró el estudio publicado en la revista Evolución y Comportamiento Humano.

    Regalonas
    Para llegar a esta conclusión, investigadores holandeses e ingleses diseñaron un modelo computacional para simular cómo evoluciona el comportamiento de los padres frente a la búsqueda de parejas de sus hijas (no midió en hombres). El modelo mostró que, por lo general, los padres optan por parejas muy distintas a las que eligen sus hijas en un fenómeno que los científicos definieron como “conflicto evolucionario sobre los recursos” y que también se da en Chile donde, según datos de la VI Encuesta Nacional de la Juventud del Injuv, los temas elección de pareja son los segundos que generan más discusiones entre padres e hijos.
    El modelo ocupado por los investigadores reveló que como los padres distribuyen los recursos en partes iguales entre sus hijos, destinan la misma cantidad de esfuerzos para que sus hijas encuentren parejas que en el futuro sean buenos proveedores. Pero si no lo logran, igual ayudan más a la hija que eligió el peor partido, debido a que están “cableados” para hacerlo. “Los padres invierten más recursos en las hijas que han elegido compañeros con menores capacidades para la crianza de sus hijos. En otras palabras, ellos están mejor si ayudan a sus hijas que lo necesitan“, agrega Van den Berg.
    Y acá es cuando el orden evolutivo muestra su curva más perversa: las hijas saben que los padres se sienten obligados a ayudar a sus hijos en problemas y por eso se aprovechan. “Debido a la forma en que los padres asignan sus recursos, una hija puede darse el lujo de elegir una pareja que entregue menor apoyo en la crianza, a sabiendas de que sus padres lo van a compensar”, dice a Tendencias Tim Fawcett, investigador de la Escuela de Ciencias Biológicas de la U. de Bristol (Inglaterra) que participó del estudio. Lo llamativo es que esto produce una especie de competencia por quién consigue la pareja menos apta (en términos evolutivos, claro está). “Las hijas están mejor si eligen una pareja con capacidad de crianza más pobre que la de sus hermanas. Obtendrán más recursos de sus padres que las otras”, agrega Van den Berg.
    Lo llamativo es que esta dinámica se perpetúa y agudiza con el paso de las décadas. En términos sencillos, más que evolucionar la elección de parejas, ésta involuciona. “Debido a estos mecanismos, en nuestro modelo de simulación se observa una disminución constante (de las aptitudes de la pareja) en las preferencias femeninas promedio de generación en generación”, dice van den Berg.

    Desde siempre
    Si bien el modelo desarrollado por los investigadores no indagó en este aspecto, el paper reporta que la incidencia de los padres en la búsqueda que hacen sus hijos ha sido documentada ampliamente en la historia y no se queda en simulaciones. ¿Ejemplos? Casi la mitad de los matrimonios de inmigrantes indios en Estados Unidos fue arreglada y en el 96% de las 190 comunidades de cazadores-recolectores considerados en el mismo estudio como antecedentes, pasa lo mismo. “En todos los tipos de sociedades humanas es común que los padres influyan en la elección de pareja de sus hijos. Los matrimonios arreglados son el ejemplo más llamativo, pero hay muchas formas sutiles de influencia, incluyendo la desaprobación manifiesta a los novios”, dice Fawcett.
    En los próximos estudios, el equipo de científicos espera investigar las razones para optar por las distintas parejas. “Las encuestas muestran que los hijos tienden a dar mayor importancia a la atracción física, el olfato y el sentido del humor, mientras que los padres se preocupan más por la clase social y origen familiar”, dice Van den Berg, concluyendo que “todavía no entendemos la razón de esta diferencia, pero probablemente tiene algo que ver con nuestra historia evolutiva”.

    DescriptionTime to turn on the charm.

    Not hitting it off with her folks? Evolution could be to blame for parents’ tendency to not approve of who their daughter is dating, according to a new British study.

    Scientists found parents have evolved to believe that they’ll need to invest more resources in a daughter whose partner isn’t supportive enough, and so they’re less likely to sign off on a guy they think can’t provide (and will cause them to dish out more dough).

    Meanwhile, daughters prefer a mate who takes care of them, but they’re less worried about it than their parents, says study author Tim Fawcett, Ph.D.

    Sure, evolution could be the reason why your new girlfriend’s mom and dad may not love you yet. But maybe not. To leave a good first impression on her folks, do this after dinner: Say to your girlfriend, “They’re a lot of fun. I’d love to see them again.” She’ll pass it on, and if they’re like most people, they’ll respond warmly to your positive comments, says Richard Sackett, Ph.D., a NYC-based psychologist.

    Within the next couple of days, email them: “It was great meeting you. Thank you so much for dinner. I loved hearing about your trip to Spain, and, as we were also talking about, I saw this Neil Young article online and thought you’d enjoy it.” A short note is upbeat and unobtrusive.

    Send the note to the parent who’d be most interested in the link—they’ll both read it. By doing this, you’ve given them your e-mail address and initiated your own relationship with them.

    DescriptionSe avesse un nome sarebbe sicuramente “la sindrome della suocera”: il motivo per cui i genitori sono spesso e volentieri insoddisfatti del partner scelto dai loro figli. A quanto pare c’è una motivazione scientifica che giustifica questo atavico comportamento (che in alcune culture sfocia nei matrimoni combinati) e uno studio appena pubblicato su Evolution & Human Behavior ne spiegherebbe le ragioni. Non è uno scherzo: un team di ricercatori dell’ Università di Bristol, assieme a colleghi dell’ateneo di Groningen, si è davvero preso la briga di analizzare da dove e perché scaturiscono così tanti conflitti tra genitori e figli quando questi ultimi finalmente hanno trovato l’anima gemella. Che però non piace a mamma e papà. Addirittura hanno elaborato un modello al computer, dimostrando che le radici del disaccordo affondano nientemeno che nell’istinto di conservazione per la prole insito nell’evoluzione umana. Il meccanismo è banale e complicato allo stesso tempo: quando i figli scelgono un compagno che offe loro il sostegno minimo indispensabile, i genitori automaticamente si prodigano a dedicare più attenzioni e cure, come compenso. Ciò gratifica i figli ma fa scadere il giudizio sul partner da parte dei suoceri. Per dimostrarlo sono stati simulati al computer i cambiamenti nel comportamento genitoriale quando una figlia è a caccia di marito. Risultato: i genitori preferiscono, ovviamente, un genero che si prenda la massima cura della loro cara; invece le ragazze optano per un modello quasi all’opposto, proprio per avere anche ed ancora l’attenzione di babbo e mamma. Allora è tutta colpa dei figli troppo bamboccioni oppure dei genitori troppo apprensivi? Tim Fawcett, l’autore della ricerca, spiega, sconfinando quasi nel freudiano, che “i genitori sono ugualmente legati a tutti i loro figli, ma ciascuno, per istinto, vorrebbe essere il privilegiato ed ottenere più della equa parte di risorse prodigate; ciò significa che sono disposti ad accontentarsi di un compagno meno premuroso alle loro attenzioni pur di mantenere tale condizione.” Ma questo modello di partner si discosta anni luce da quello ideale per i genitori, e da qui il conflitto. I ricercatori aggiungono che “secondo il modello elaborato al computer, il conflitto è più esasperato nelle famiglie patriarcali, ma deve essere ancora testato.” Chissà se uscirebbero gli stessi risultati immettendo nel modello parametri peculiari degli Italiani, notoriamente il popolo più mammone di tutto l’universo sinora conosciuto.

Een van hen, bioloog Piet van den Berg legt uit. "We hebben een computermodel gemaakt waarin we evolutie simuleren met een populatie van mannetjes en vrouwtjes. De vrouwtjes hebben al dan niet een voorkeur voor mannetjes met ouderlijke kwaliteiten. Daar komt een verhaal bij: dat van de ouders van die vrouwtjes. Het is het beste voor die ouders om hun dochters te compenseren als ze een slecht mannetje gekozen hebben."

That’s certainly not the case for everyone. Some parents are pretty vocal about disapproving of their children’s romantic partners. And as weird as it sounds, apparently their distaste may be rooted in some of our most innate behaviors.
