Would the authors venture to make a prediction on what will happen as the US moves away from monogamy?<p>Edit: I&#x27;m not talking about moving towards poligamy. I&#x27;m talking about moving away from monogamous marriage in general.<p>To quote from the article: <i>According to Henrich, monogamy’s main cultural evolutionary advantage over polygyny is the more egalitarian distribution of women, which reduces male competition and social problems.</i><p>It seems obvious to me that this not a specific disadvantage of polygyny, but a specific advantage of monogamy. The state of nature, without marriage, also ought to produce a less &quot;egalitarian distribution of women&quot;.
