Will this one-by-one system forever be our main thing or do you think we will break monogamy and maybe “team up” as groups or something?
And yeah polygamy is a thing but do you think it will catch on to “the upper class”?
we’re heading toward monogamy at the main relationship status. Biologicaly it the best model for offspring survival
source, the Bible 😱
Polygamy is great- source: the quran.
Not all of us with different opinion than yours are religious.
Monogamy prevent killing of rival’s baby and protect kids Thoses studies might be biased by moral ground But the correlation between testes size and polygamous relationship is well studied. Right now, Humans fall in the midrange: not as promiscuious as a chimp but not monogamous. But seing how tiny your balls are compared to your dad, we’re certainly heading to full monogamous territory😱
I dont care about teste size.
We have other ways of preventing infanticide.
Not being religious doesn’t mean you don’t have cultural biases rooted in religion.
Linking random articles doesn’t make an argument stronger, just appear stronger.
You really think that we’re at the point as a species where we need to structure our society by comparing it to what chimps do?
But it takes a village to raise a child
That is just extended family and friend relationships. Not a whole village of romantic partners.
Maybe that’s why poly is becoming a thing; it makes sense in America since its individualism ensures that children are independent of their parents, and especially extended family most of the time. Back in the day, children would still stay with their parents even when they have children themselves (and this is returning with inflations getting worse. Heck, there are even traditional housing systems where there is one “apartment” that consists of one extended family. But now, at least in the States, children can travel miles away from their family and pay them a visit only once in a while; so there’s no constant handling of children like in the old days. I suppose teachers can fill this role as well, but teachers handle groups of children at the time. They may or may not get individualized needs that need to be addressed that only an adult who lives with them can provide.
