One reason is that non-paternity rates are globally very low even though contraceptives and relaxed marital norms should make AF/BB much more likely if it was natural.<ref>https://labs.la.utexas.edu/buss/files/2013/02/The-Mate-Switching-Hypothesis-FINAL-PUBLISHED-2017.pdf (see Section 6)</ref> | More recently, however, the dual-mating strategy fell in disfavor in the scientific community for a number of reasons.
