Social scientist [[Menelaos Apostolou]] suggested that the contemporary rise in [[inceldom]] and [[relationship]] instability may be caused by an [[evolutionary mismatch]]. An evolutionary mismatch means that the current conditions mismatch those in which humans evolved in, disturbing natural human behavior, including mating behavior. In particular, Apostolou looked at historical data on marriage practices and found that the majority of societies studied had [[arranged marriage]] as their dominant mating practice. Free mate choice did exist (especially in the second marriage), but it was less common. These statistics even hold true for primitive societies | Social scientist [[Menelaos Apostolou]] suggested that the contemporary rise in [[inceldom]] and [[relationship]] instability may be caused by an [[evolutionary mismatch]].
