Oh now that is a good book, have it myself.
And yes I am a student of biology with evolution in normal and micro and molecular scale. (Molecular biology to be more specific)

I can see were you are comming from, and there is a ton of other things, among them in the mating patterns of humans etc that suggests opportunistic "monogamy". Something in the lines that men are opportunistic in their relationships therby giving a genetical reason for cheating etc.

I can deeply recomend that book, a very good read. After you read it I would love to discuss it further. though someplace else..

/End threadjacking
Sorry.
