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"?

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?
