Evolution does not work as a concerted effort, it is more like different bureaucracies with sometimes competing agendas. Evolution has no agendas.

Menstration and ovulation are not behaviors, could you agree that there are behaviors related to those biological functions? Such as?

We do have some research, I could dig it up if you want to see it (hopefully it will be online for free, if not I can send you a copy), that suggests that women's behavior changes over their cycle and men's responses to women are altered according to the woman in question. My first thought was that there could have been some type of pheromone activity but the same results were found with photographs of women in different periods of their cycles. This leads me to think that there are facial cues that change to demonstrate fertility. In my opinion the jury is still out but the topic is interesting.

In increments Brother, don't hold your breath.

What is the sum of those increments so far? I am not holding my breath.

That human mating behavior (short- and long-term) is cued by a number of facets (some of which are purely biological) and there are differences between the sexes.

Are you saying these are innate psychological differences? Would a woman on the contraceptive pill feel compelled to act as if she was still fertile?

I am glad that you brought that up. I have a paper on the subject that I will try to find online. If not I will email it to you.
