It is time we had an interdisciplinary world. It is time we created a society where all levels of thinking and society can work together – so the individual psychologies can live together in a more
integrated society. Interdisciplinary thinking tries to promote environmentalism, capitalism, religion, heroic
individualism, and families simultaneously. Beauty, truth, and ethics are united.
I read your comment noting the different combinations of cads & dads in a child's life. When I skimmed the paper you linked to I didn't any mention of such combinations.
"Draper, Harpending, and Belsky have argued that men evolved to specialize in one of the two mating strategies and have found that, cross-culturally, cads and dads show distinct clusters of personality traits. They believe that cads and dads are different human morphs, just as workers and queens are different morphs of ants, and that whether a man becomes one or the other depends on an environmental trigger: the presence or absence of the father in the household where the son grows up. The sons of father-absent households will become cads, and those of father-present households will become dads (Draper and Harpending 1982, 1988; Draper and Belsky 1990)" (pg. 307-8)
