Promiscuity-pushers love touting science, biology, and evolution in order to degrade the bounds of propriety and the moral fiber of whatever shreds of society are left.
Well, they’re idiots, and you can read the research that says so. (Social Psychology Quarterly is for paying subscribers only, but the head scientist posted the article on his website.)
From the Telegraph:
Dr Kanazawa claims that the correlation between intelligence and monogamy in men has its origins in evolutionary development.
Sexual exclusivity is an “evolutionary novel” quality that would have been of little benefit to early man, who was programmed to be promiscuous, he argues.
The modern world no longer confers such an evolutionary advantage to men who have several sexual partners - but it is only intelligent men are able to shed the psychological baggage of their species and adopt new modes of behaviour.
In other words, men with more big-brain power can overcome the caveman urges of their little brains.
So the next time someone tells you that monogamy is a “hang-up,” you can wish them good luck ditching their “psychological baggage.”
