I was thinking about my relationship with my cousins lately. Actually one of my cousins, my mom’s sis daughter came to stay at my place for a weekend during holidays. When she returned home, I miss her a lot. Even though we don’t meet often, she is really close to me in many ways. I can tell her everything and trust her. She has always been with me all the time and we have had lots of fun together each time we meet.
I still remember the last we had so much fun, we went at Port-Louis and we burst into laughter in the middle of the road, and were nearly lost in the streets of the capital. We had lunch at Grand Ocean and we ordered so many things and our stomach was full halfway the meal, that we had to ask the waiter to pack the rest of the food. And…most prolly they added some kinda funny stuffs in the food, since we were feelin’ funny afterwards
According to a study which was published by the University Of Texas in Austin, it has been proved that we tend to be more closer to our mother’s sister’s children than our fathers. And I have realised that this is somehow true because it actually applies to me, and when I look around I also realise that this was more or less the case with people in my surroundings as well.
Evolution by natural selection has shaped us to mistrust paternity, say researchers, and their findings confirm a prediction by evolutionary scientists that we tend to be kinder – altruistic – to the children of our mother’s sister than those of our father’s brother.
“We predicted and found that… humans act most altruistically toward mother’s sister’s children, followed by both mother’s brother’s children and father’s sister’s children, and least altruistically toward father’s brother’s children,” the researchers said in the study they published.
