ZTAngel-
Thanks for your comments, it was well needed. However, I'd like to talk to you about my theory of why I think its genetic/instinctive. For thousands of years my ancestors lived in Northern Europe. Life span was very short, yet people of the Germanic tribes liked to maintain 1 wife at a time. The life span of a germanic tribe member was short compared ot todays life span. That said, men often had more than one wife. Either wives died from childbirth, disease, sickness or whatever. After going on for century after century after century, being with more than one woman becomes more less instinctive. After a species does something repeatedly for centuries, it becomes instinctive like. The problem came in when we, as humans, started living a lot longer. After we started living longer than 25/35 yrs......having more than one wife/lover became taboo. You can't change thousands of years of survival behaivor over night. Our society changes rapidly, thats what made it seem wrong for people to be with more than one woman. We as humans has been relatively the same for over 10,000 years. Do you kind of see where I'm coming from on thinking its more less instinctive rather than a learned behaivor?
