I don't know genetics as well as I should, but I think, whether its psychological, or genetic psychological, or something else? If women are provided birth control, and a good deal of wealth, independent of a supplying male, then a women is free from desiring monogamy, exclusively. Having said that, I remember reading a study from New Scientist, noting that without emotional involvement, a women tends to spiral into depression if they have a lot of sexual relations with different male partners. The article did not indicate that ALL women experienced unhappiness, but that most who caroused as a man likes to, did get depressed. There are, of course, women who can have lots of lovers, without emotional distress, but eventually, but apparently, they are the a minority. Now that we've solved that, on to uniting quantum mechanics with gravity.
Yes, polygamy can only work where food is plentiful etc, otherwise the monogamy genes will come to dominate when children need more than one parent to rear them successfully. If men can wander off and still propagate their genes, they will do so, because that becomes a successful strategy - as some men do, of course... This is supposed to account for the difference in sexual attitudes between hot and cold countries, although some would consider that racist / non-PC ... still, seems logical nevertheless. -----Original Message----- From: LizR <[email protected]> To: everything-list <[email protected]> Sent: Wed, Apr 16, 2014 3:51 pm Subject: Re: Climate models On 17 April 2014 02:36, <[email protected]> wrote: Some of it is motivated from females needing to survive and look after their children. How much wealth, be it hunted game, or IPO stock options. Unless the male is very wealthy, there is no advantage for the female to share a mail, Some do, and they are the exception. There are logical reasons why monogamy has succeeded, and polygamy and polyandry to recede. This may be changing? Unless a man pair bonds with a women, and we had the option, when you to have sex with multiple females, say within the same month, we would opt for it.
