Surely it would become more and more apparent as the child grows and takes on a distinctly different appearance?
mind you...imprinting is a strong thing. Most birds will blindly raise a baby cuckoo twice their size, and with radically different appearance without realizing it is not the same species. |

Trying to cause a little bit of mental anguish to others? How devious of you. Or is it that you have a confession to make? In any case, just one look at my son and you'll know he's mine. |

| Maybe its a bit off topic, but I found this article interesting. It attempts to explain some of the evolutionary reasons that female primates may only fake monogomy. I don't necessarily agree with this whole article, but it still gave me soemthing to think about. http://www.dhushara.com/paradoxhtm/homo.htm |

Interesting research in the UK. He found an 8% discrepency in paternity claims. Think about that. One in twelve posters would incorrectly answer the question "Who's your Daddy?"
edit: I believe 'he' was Robin Baker. |

Was that the show on Discovery?
There was a guy on there his family consisted of four children. There was some kind of medical emergency and through blood work they found out one of the kids was not his.
In all actuallity, three out of the four were not his (four children three fathers, but this one guy thought they were all his). I do not know how the guy held it together and did not kill the dirty *beep*. |

How can a woman be sure her husband has'nt fathered children elsewhere?
the uncertainty is universal. Men and women are both damm untrustworthy. |

My boy doesn't look like me and at twelve years old weighs almost as much as I do and is almost as tall. Doc says he's been top of growth curve stats since day one and he'll be 6' 6" and 220 lbs. by time he's seventeen...
... thought it was odd the milkman was around so often...but he was such a big SOB I was scared to say anything...  |

I should have read the article the OP cited first. The Baker article was probably used in the meta study. I'd chalk all of the variability between studies to either A) culture or B) experimental design. Think about it, if you were a woman who has screwed around a little, would you submit your kids to a paternity test, even if it was anonomous? Researchers would have to trick parents into participating to get an accurate sample.

No, but that would eat balls.
Baker is a sexual biologist. He has this theory that 99% of men's sperm is incapable of fertilization, but is designed expressly to block other suitor's sperm. Meaning that we've been designed with the idea that we are "imperfectly monogamous", to put it politely.
(pssst. Your website only carries the guy's book, Sperm Wars, in Spanish.) |

I have heard of that book before. Who can forget the title. We don't carry it on the site because it is some two bit publisher. It does have a decent rank on Amazon though... |

My dad used to warn his students in the lab before doing blood type tests that he wasn't responsible if they discovered something about their parents. He told me it happened once. Some girl found out daddy wasn't her biological dad. Nice way to learn mommy has a secret. |
