Genes and monogamy/polyamory

[figmo]

This article features a study that says the tendency to be monogamous vs. polyamorous may be genetic.

I would have preferred they use less judgemental language in describing polyamory (why couldn't they just say meadow moles prefer multiple partners?), but the core information in the article is IMHO interesting.

The "preachy" overtone of the article bothered me. Instead of talking about "orientation clash," they use the "cheating partner" scenario.

I do think the tendency to prefer monogamy vs. polyamory has genetic roots, and thus I see judging someone on that basis up there with judging someone by eye color.
