| Jun 4, 2021 at 4:02 | comment | added | encryptoferia | why in your scenario elves is more like barbarian than the typical elvish traits, like population control would be more like selective breeding opportunity only for select elf individuals, rather than make a lot die a lot thing. | |

| Jun 2, 2021 at 16:53 | comment | added | jamesqf | "Elven children play outside with little to no supervision...": So did human children, back when I used to be one, and a good many of your list of behaviors were practiced by them, if in a somewhat less extreme form. You might call it the Lake Woebegon principle: all the children (that survive!) are above average :-) | |
| Jun 2, 2021 at 15:15 | comment | added | Owen Reynolds | What's the problem that needs solving? Are you worried readers will think it's unrealistic? It seems like regular Charles Dickens to me - completely believable since it actually happened. | |
| Jun 2, 2021 at 13:44 | comment | added | A. I. Breveleri | You need a more complete description of what Nature wants. Try writing a functional definition of "evolution". | |
| Jun 2, 2021 at 11:56 | comment | added | Patrick Artner | [...] Better introduce some magic wind that mutates genes. Or all tuples of parents can bear only 1 child wich each other due to immune-reactions after the first one. | |
| Jun 2, 2021 at 11:54 | comment | added | Patrick Artner | why should "Nature" erm evolution care about the fitness of the individual - if the tribe prospers, the tribeswoman do as well. killing off infants to get "more mutation" sounds off. You still will have the same parents become a child with more or less the same genetic pool to be choosen from as genes. If not enough individuals are born, there is not enough mutations to select, If the individuals that are born are killed off at young age before proliferation there is not more mutation happening at all.

| Jun 2, 2021 at 9:57 | comment | added | Joe Bloggs | Worth pointing out that socialisation is an evolved trait, and a highly effective one at that. Even without the ‘I want mommy’ gene groups of toddlers that evolve to do dangerous things as a team/pair are more likely to survive than those that do them solo. You might want to consider highly tribal or treacherous-crèche playtime as an alternative to every-tot-for-themselves. | |

| Jun 2, 2021 at 2:58 | comment | added | DWKraus | This sounds a lot like the Spartan child-rearing philosophy. Don't give them enough to eat, make them forage and fight for attention and resources. Parents play a key role, discouraging clingy behavior with discipline and beatings. Maybe parents desert their children for long periods, and clingy ones starve when Mom's gone. "play" hunting is real, and trying potentially poisonous mushrooms keeps you alive... historywiz.com/didyouknow/spartanfamily.htm | |

| Jun 1, 2021 at 23:56 | comment | added | cereal_killer | Instead of looking at this from the perspective of the offspring, look at it from the perspective of the parents. Parental care evolves when children are expensive. Parental care does not evolve if kids are cheap and abundant (see sea turtles, or r/k selection theory in general). | |
| Jun 1, 2021 at 23:50 | comment | added | Escaped dental patient. | What type of fitness are you referring to, fitness for what? Reproduction, cardio-vascular, social behavior, intellectual pursuits, hunting ..... | |
| Jun 1, 2021 at 23:43 | comment | added | John | swimming is dangerous but also build great cardiovascular strength. I think you need to be more specific about the dangerous behavior. | |
