    I meant 10 billion yes. And this study was specifically for humans. Saying we aren’t animals and we don’t live by nature’s rules just simply isn’t factual. We do things a lot differently but no matter what we still have instincts and those instincts drive us. We can’t just take out the hardwiring.

      We can’t take it out, but we can over rule it with reason and logic. We can decide to do something that’s not our “natural” choice.

      I know plenty of childfree couples, yet our biological drive is to create children to perpetuate our genes in the species.

      There’s a lot of exceptions to the natural human drives that most people experience.

        That is just one example. There are many natural drives that we still use. We eat. We breathe air. We drink water. There are plenty of natural drives that we cannot overcome. We are animals and all animals have things that affect their decisions.
