		<description>On second reading, I realize what you meant by &quot;purportedly&quot;. When I read it quickly, it seemed to say that the book explains why mankind is monagamous and other primates are not. The answer is that man is NOT monagamous, but the powers that be have propped up the idea that not only is man monagamous, but that man is NATURALLY monagamous. This is not true. 

What we both can agree is that this is a thought provoking book that may change the way that you look at life. What this book isn&#039;t being given enough credit for is that it&#039;s the first book to give an explanation for homosexuality that makes sense. Many people who are not opposed to gay rights still think that homosexuality must be a mistake because it in and of itself does not lead to reproduction. But if pomiscuous sex helped small communities of early man bond together and co-operate, it makes sense that homosexuality in some members might help the group bond closer together and co-operate &lt;b&gt;better&lt;/b&gt;, thus helping the entire group survive. Thus, homosexuality became an asset even if gay people didn&#039;t directly pass their genes to the next generation, and in many cases they probably did.

Anyway, thanks for clarifying and I&#039;m sorry if my original remark sounded snarky.</description>

		<description>I think I should have clarified my position by saying we are the only &quot;purportedly&quot; monogamous species. I do believe the books does conclude that by evolution and temperament we are not made to be monogamous. So in a sense, I think when I wrote that sentence I was trying to set the stage that although many believe we are the only monogamous primates, that this in and of itself should make us question whether that can possibly be true or are we trying to make our species an exception, when it is really not. Make sense?</description>

		<description>You must have misread the book. The authors state there are no monogamous primates, INCLUDING homo sapiens.</description>
