In <em>Sex at Dawn<\/em>, Christopher Ryan and Cacilda Jeth\u00e1 (a husband-and-wife team) offer a surprising answer: For most of our evolutionary history, humans lived in societies that encouraged casual sex with multiple partners. According to the authors, humans evolved to be naturally promiscuous and only reluctantly embraced monogamy about 10,000 years ago when we stopped <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/what-is-foraging-meaning\/\">foraging<\/a> for food and started farming.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some <em>Sex at Dawn <\/em>quotes with explanations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cRather than a plausible explanation for how we got to be the way we are, the standard narrative is exposed as contemporary moralistic bias packaged to look like science and then projected upon the distant screen of prehistory, rationalizing the present while obscuring the past. Yabba dabba doo.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the standard narrative, the human mating system works like this: If a man and a woman find each other desirable, they\u2019ll form a long-term, monogamous bond (from which they\u2019ll periodically escape for flings with other partners). This pairing offers women the security of access to resources and offers men the all-important certainty that they are their children\u2019s biological father.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Ryan and Jeth\u00e1, the standard narrative is an example of<strong> \u201cFlinstonization,\u201d or the tendency to use modern cultural mores to explain historical human behavior. <\/strong>For example, we frequently hear stories of women \u201csettling\u201d for partners who can provide financial security, even if they\u2019re not a love match. According to the authors, we then mistakenly project the same expectation backward onto prehistoric women because we assume that \u201csettling\u201d must be an innate (rather than culturally-ingrained) behavior. However, prehistoric humans lived in very different social and physical environments than modern humans, so it\u2019s unwise to assume they went through the same thought processes as modern humans in choosing whether or not to commit to a mate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;The assertion that human beings are naturally monogamous is not just a lie; it&#8217;s a lie most Western societies insist we keep telling each other.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the authors, monogamy is extremely rare in the natural world, occurring in just 3% of all mammals. Furthermore, among humans, adultery is a common occurrence in every culture around the world, even in spite of the brutal punishments that some societies inflict on adulterers. In Ryan and Jeth\u00e1\u2019s view, the only reason anyone would risk such punishment is to satisfy a deep evolutionary urge. The authors conclude that monogamy is thus not \u201cnatural\u201d at all, contrary to the standard narrative.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cPrimatologists Richard Wrandham and Dale Peterson summarize&#8230;writing, &#8216;Chimpanzee-like violence preceded and paved the way for human war, making modern humans the dazed survivors of a continuous 5-million-year habit of lethal aggression.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the authors, twentieth-century scientists thought chimpanzees were a nearly perfect model of ancient, unrestrained, \u201cprimal\u201d humans because while they exhibit very human behaviors, they\u2019re far less inhibited and more openly brutal than modern humans. These scientists also speculated that chimps\u2019 approach to sex must represent ancient humans\u2019 primal reproductive instincts: instincts that we still have, but repress.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ryan and Jeth\u00e1 also note that, like chimpanzees, bonobos are famously promiscuous. However, for bonobos, sex serves important purposes beyond reproduction: It\u2019s the social glue that holds the group together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looking for Sex at Dawn quotes Christopher Ryan and Cacilda Jeth\u00e1?
