Polyandry is problematic because you can not tell who the father is and it leads to accidental incest

In Exodus 21 there was a temporary marriage system for men having temporary employment or servitude

The excess men might be able to take turns having temporary marriages with the same women

So that every man has the potential to reproduce but some can reproduce more because polygyny is still available

While avoiding the incest problem caused by polyandry

@Zerglingman @vic @unabomber

If there is no after life and you eventually die then it does you no good to reproduce as your mind will not continue on after death to see any benefit from the legacy you leave society

If there is a after life whether heaven or reincarnation or something else then the criteria that determine your after life is what matters not whether or not you reproduce

If you can live forever without dying but there is no afterlife then living values more than reproducing

Based on your position, all selection is "artificial," you just prefer one artifice to another. 🤷‍♂️

That entire theory hinges on the idea that women never make mistakes in mate sleection. It also assumes that most men are too stupid to realize they're being exterminated while having their labor exploited.

I don't see how it's possible to sustain a belief in one of those conclusions, let alone both.

It also assumes that the women in polygamous relationships were fairhful and weren't getting impregnated by side guys.

The existence of the welfare state and propaganda that supports it increases mistakes in mate selection that oppose freedom and prosperity oriented goals
