I'm often baffled at the application of evolutionary theory to human behaviour. Try this on:
How significant was the loss of estrous in humans in male/female relationships? Does this encourage pair bonding, or does it complicate it, thus jeopardizing the idea of monogamy?
Meh. Humans are confusing.
