Freefall 3: Death Ray Byproducts

Errm, ants?


A species is fine as long as enough of its non-sterile members reproduce. And Sqid reproduction makes a lot of offspring if I remember correctly.

A bee hive contains 1 female, a few hundred males, and several thousand individuals who are mostly sterile. Natural selection can work however it damn well wants.

A clutch is apparently large enough to support something like drive-by adoption.

Bees, ants and some wasps, I will grant you, but the mother is alive and more or less in charge in those cases. Drive by adoption is not going to work, in my humble opinion, there isn't sufficient genetic connection.
