Steve Stewart-Williams Quote

The reproductive benefits of polygyny were so great for genes located in male bodies that the male mind might still have evolved to take advantage of those opportunities, if and when they did arise. As a result, men may harbor strong polygamous desires — much stronger than women's — even if these desires are frustrated for most men throughout most of their lives.
