Question Monogomy: Nature or Nurture

[Scouse]

Nah, that's not even true now, there are various polygamous societies around(Arabs, Mormons, Borneo Headhunters?) and there used to be a lot more. Loads of polygamy in the Bible for instance, and most of Africa was polygamous until the we started going around Christianising the place.

I'd disagree. Just because, for arguments sake, 10% of the world population is polygamous doesn't mean that the other 90% ever was, or is.

Christianity's only been about for 2000 years remember - and only 1600 if you count when the Romans cleverly politicised it for social control. There's serious evidence that monogamy's been part of homo sapiens' social makeup for many thousands of years.

But what I'll do, to be sure, is ask a few friends who work in the field and then report back
