---- | |||
Henrich et al. (2012) suggested cultural evolution may have selected monogamy because of its beneficial effects. | |||
* Monogamy suppresses intrasexual competition and reduces the number of unmarried men, thereby reduces crime rates, including rape, murder, assault, robbery and fraud. | |||
* By shifting male efforts from seeking wives to paternal investment, normative monogamy increases savings, child investment and economic productivity. | |||
* By increasing the relatedness within households, monogamy reduces intra-household conflict, leading to lower rates of child neglect, abuse, accidental death and homicide. | |||
