The concept of Monogamy?

[Dafunkdoc_Unlimited]

Lets say you're right. Does this still mean that the Western world couldnt have adopted this ideal from European influence?

monogamy was the rule at the level of the mass of the people, particularly in Africa.

You didn't shut anything down. I'm proving with sources that polygyny was just as common as monogamy in the ancient world. You are arguing that Monogamy was the only norm. Monogamy was more predominant because a lot of men weren't in Kingly positions to have it the other way. Polygyny was practiced in early China, ancient Babylon, Egypt, Israel, Arabia, etc....Widespread Christianity put an end to it during the Roman Empire. The West fully embraced that thus it was prohibited.

1001 Ideas That Changed the Way We Think

To sum-up: Monogamy was an evolutionary breakthrough for human beings that enabled us to progress as a species above all others thousands of years ago.

Those advocating for multiple partners are, in fact, inhibiting our species' progress and endangering our continued existence.​

Monogomy is a European concept that vastly influenced Western culture. A lot of ancient cultures in the East dealt with polygamy, especially the Hebrews.

Polygamy for some but not most.

Polygamy for some but not most.

Thats why I said mainly the Hebrews. Not everyone did it, but the wealthy and mighty.

This topic always comes up. And it's always the same argument "animals aren't monogamous" animals dont drive either, so stop doing that, they don't wear clothes, so stop doinh that, they dont use computers so stop doing that. How about you just go live with animals, since you don't like thr way humans are foing things. Monogamy is ideal, you can catch incurable stds even with a condom and you can catch everything without one, no matter how safe you are, you're still at thr mercy of your non-monogamous partner.

We get it, you don't want to be monogamous. Not because it's not "natural" you do unnatural things allllll day long, you don't want to be monogamous because you just don't want to be. Stop trying to come up with excuses.

YES.

Also (in bold)I love it when people come up with this argument, because they usually only intend for it to apply to men: men aren't meant to be monogamous because they can have more children all throughout life; women however benefit from monogamy because they need stability to raise kids and have to be selective with their eggs

BUT if we're going the "natural" route, women aren't meant to be tied to one man for life either

Male virility fluctuates throughout life. So does his alpha position. In the wild, female pack animals will mate with alpha males, who can be dethroned by other males, tenth females mate with them. In nature, pack animals benefit from mating with whoever is alpha at a given time- so it will be multiple males in their lifetimes.

So does this give evolutionary license for women to mate with different attractive men depending on who we see as alpha at the time

From the article I linked previously.....​

Females have an incentive to bond with provisioning males. Simultaneously, provisioning males have an incentive to bond with females who remain faithful to them; the more the male’s effort to provisioning, the stronger the incentive. These factors are expected to lead to nonrandom pair formation.

The answer to your question is, yeah, the species will survive but at a cost to the continued provisioning of the female and her offspring.

This is an evolutionary dead-end, not an advantage, as disadvantaged offspring are less likely to survive and/or be beneficial members of the community.

To put it bluntly: We don't love them hoes.​
