I'm a potato wife: big & common & knobbly & spread wide.
Y'all might only want me once a week. With increasingly exotic toppings. But I'm a staple and men have died from wanting me.

Isn't she? No one paints a picture with words the way Sundae does.

I love both those things and it never occurred to me to mix them.

Here is some strong evidence about human polygamy (technically polygyny) based on DNA analysis. It links to the original article if you want it all nerded up.
Quote:
I also wonder if this method properly allows for the possibility of serial harem-polygyny, i.e. each male gets to breed with all the females in the group for a year or two before being ousted by the next male. That could create the genetic appearance of breeding parity, while still preserving polygyny.

So I did some digging.
The original article is here. We really need Pie back to cope with this kind of maths, it is WAAAAAY beyond me. BUT! There was a link to a criticial reply, here. They pointed out that the original paper had double-corrected for some factor and the true ratio is somewhat higher - where the original gives 1.1, 1.3 and 1.4, the correct figures should be 1.3, 2.2 and 2.6! Thus leading to the conclusion of: Quote:
I should declare that the original authors then reply here with a bunch of stuff I cannot fathom, but they acknowledge and agree with the reply about double correcting. Either way, there is pretty good genetic evidence for widespread polygynous polygamy in human history. Given that many societies and individuals have been monogamous, the remainder must have been definitely polygamous to make the averages work out like this. It still does not address the serial polygyny question, though.
