Reply to Re: Are humans monogamous or polygamous?
If you don't have an account, just leave the password field blank.
Also what does the mammoth and sabre tooth example prove for humans? What you're describing is how monogamy helps protect the young when a species is being threatened by a predator. But humans -being at the top of the food chain- have no predators and that makes the point you're trying to get across irrelevant to the discussion.
And the articles you posted don't disprove my point that obligate monogamy is created by social factors. They simply cover the point that animals do form monogamous relationships in order to protect their kin. I'm not disputing that. I'm simply saying that when animals feel the necessity to do that it is because of social reasons. Not because of genetic factors.
When you said humans are monogamous by nature, you're saying that it is in our genetic structure that we mate for life. Which is wrong.
