But it is also a platform for our intellects that may or may not embrace the goals of our anatomy.
These females have the anatomy that enables them to become mothers and in order to do that, to attract the fertilization of males of their species. They have sufficient strength to nurture and defend their offspring, but it is generally less than that of males. Everything that is typical to their gender works to attract a male to reproduce with and to continue his presence as defender, hunter, and builder on which the female depends.
But their intelligence, that developed with their physiology, presents alternatives to the roles designed by evolution.
We cannot know how common this is in other species, but in human beings, not only does the design nature gives us not always work, but we have the alternative to not follow that design and yet not be mentally or emotionally destroyed by it.
This is such a challenge to natural design that humans have come to question themselves, their role in, and their effects on, natural design. They have come to seek to solve problems caused by thinking by improving and redoubling the thought they give the subject. It's paradoxical but begs the question, "What else are they to do?"
Not only is the empty vase something to contemplate ... with what shall we fill it is an issue as well.
Life is mind boggling ...

Edwin Loftus is an American painter and draftsman born in 1951. His interest in art began at the age of 4 when he decided to draw something real rather than working from his imagination.
As a child he excelled at drawing and as a teenager he began to experiment with oil painting. In college, he took courses in art and art history and realized that true art had nothing to do with the quality of the drawing or painting, but that it had to have the ambition to push the boundaries and expand the visual experience.
He also studied philosophy, psychology and history and quickly realized that it was just another art establishment trying to defend its elitist industry and reward system. Their skills were almost non-existent, they knew nothing about psychology, perception or stimulus response, and they were extensions of the belief system that made communism, fascism and other forms of totalitarianism such destructive forces in the world. They literally believe that art shouldn't be available to ordinary human beings, but only to an elite "sophisticated" enough to understand it.
Edwin Loftus realized that the emperors of art had no clothes, but they were still the emperors. Gifted in art, he worked hard to acquire this skill. So he found other ways to make a living and sold a few artworks from time to time. For sixty years, many people enjoyed his works and some collected them.
Today, Edwin Loftus is retired. Even if he sold all his paintings for the price he asked, "artist" would be the lowest paid job he ever had... but that's the way it is. It won't matter to him after he dies. He just hopes that some people will like what he does enough to enjoy it in the future.
