The Evolutionary Case Against Monogamy, Ctd

Bookslut reviews Sex At Dawn. A criticism:

Mute the power-of-biology stuff ... If our current sexual behavior
is culturally flexible, as you rightly note, it cannot also be
"powerless against our prehistoric predilections." To ask, "If the
nuclear triad is so deeply embedded in our nature, why are fewer and
fewer of us choosing to live that way?" makes as little sense as to ask
why, if meat-eating and hunting marked our past, more and more of us
are choosing to do neither now.
