Seriously, though, if Beta Males were so undesirable, there sure are a lot of them, many with kids of their own. And yeah, some of them were tricked, but there are just too many kids who look like their dad to believe it's extremely high..

Maybe. But have you noticed how in your parents and grandparents generation, your relatives would always talk, often in front of or to their (grand)children, about who the (grand)child looked like, mother or father? When I was a kid, I could never understand why this was such a popular topic of discussion. But about 20 years ago, it suddenly dawned on me: If a child looks like it's father, everything is ok. If a child looks like it's mother, things may still be ok. If a child looks neither like it's father nor mother, then chances are a different person is the real father. Whether people knew explicitly why they were interested in this topic I do not know. This game of who-do-you-look-like was also more popular on the father's side of the family, and tellingly, also more popular among the women.

So, yeah, there was always social controls in place to check whether the children had the right father. And that would explain why many beta Males have children of their own. But there are plenty of bastards running around, at least 11% of children are according to a study from families from Beverly Hills (google it).

Related to justme's post, scientific studies have shown that the parents of the mother are highly more likely to say that a baby looks like the father. This is a defense mechanism to get the "father" to support the child regardless of whether or not it is his child. Evolution has finely honed this instinct.
