This groundbreaking book challenges conventional wisdom about human sexuality and relationships. The authors, a husband-and-wife team of anthropologists, argue that monogamy is not a natural state for humans, but rather a social construct. They present evidence from prehistoric societies, primatology, and contemporary tribal cultures to support their claim that humans are naturally inclined towards polyamory and sexual sharing. The book also explores the impact of agriculture and private property on human sexual behavior, suggesting that these developments led to the rise of monogamy and the nuclear family. The authors argue that understanding our evolutionary past can help us navigate modern relationships and sexual dissatisfaction. This provocative and thought-provoking book challenges many deeply held beliefs about sexuality, monogamy, and human nature.
Sex at Dawn
Humans are not naturally monogamous, and our prehistoric ancestors lived in egalitarian societies where sexual freedom was the norm. This book explores the implications of this for modern relationships, and how we can use this knowledge to create healthier, more fulfilling partnerships.
