I watched my mate while she dug into the food Mina had brought. I now wondered if the main reason other races hated humans was that they thought them weak. Perhaps it was better we all considered them weak. Outwardly they were. I was looking over files I had been sent. Base humans were indeed extremely weak. They had an incredible verity between the original humans and what they were now.

I had been looking into it while she ate. In a head to head fight with nothing to aid them, humans would die ninety nine percent of the time. They tended to produce three female offspring for every male. Once humans had started space traveling it became clear that females handled the travel far better than the males. So they evolved to produce more females. The fact that a single male could impregnate a dozen women in a month ment more females was great... For the men. Humans had been known as a promiscuous race since they had been acknowledged as a sentient race.
