... Dawkins[2] poses the question of why male peacocks developed long tails. At rst sight, these tails seem to contradict the principle of natural selection, because a long tail (i.e. a tail longer than the aerodynamic optimum) is a hindrance to a peacock compared to a short tail. Not only does the pea ...
