Sex at Dawn - Christopher Ryan ,Cacilda Jethá

The Prehistoric Origins of Modern Sexuality
Since Darwin’s day, we’ve been told that sexual monogamy comes naturally to our species. Mainstream science–as well as religious and cultural institutions–has maintained that men and women evolved in families in which a man’s possessions and protection were exchanged for a woman’s fertility and fidelity. But this narrative is collapsing. Fewer and fewer couples are getting married, and divorce rates keep climbing as adultery and flagging libido drag down even seemingly solid marriages.
How can reality be reconciled with the accepted narrative? It can’t be, according to renegade thinkers Christopher Ryan and Cacilda Jethá. While debunking almost everything we “know” about sex, they offer a bold alternative explanation in this provocative and brilliant book.
Ryan and Jethá’s central contention is that human beings evolved in egalitarian groups that shared food, child care, and, often, sexual partners. Weaving together convergent, frequently overlooked evidence from anthropology, archaeology, primatology, anatomy, and psychosexuality, the authors show how far from human nature monogamy really is. Human beings everywhere and in every era have confronted the same familiar, intimate situations in surprisingly different ways. The authors expose the ancient roots of human sexuality while pointing toward a more optimistic future illuminated by our innate capacities for love, cooperation, and generosity.
With intelligence, humor, and wonder, Ryan and Jethá show how our promiscuous past haunts our struggles over monogamy, sexual orientation, and family dynamics. They explore why long-term fidelity can be so difficult for so many; why sexual passion tends to fade even as love deepens; why many middle-aged men risk everything for transient affairs with younger women; why homosexuality persists in the face of standard evolutionary logic; and what the human body reveals about the prehistoric origins of modern sexuality.
In the tradition of the best historical and scientific writing, Sex at Dawn unapologetically upends unwarranted assumptions and unfounded conclusions while offering a revolutionary understanding of why we live and love as we do.

I have nothing against polygamy; I have practiced it and I have come to know many in the Portland poly scene. *But* this pro-poly book (a sacred text to many) is truly dreadful.
If you read it carefully, with endnotes, you will see rhe authors constantly fall prey to logical fallacies (including how they overstate their main claim), provide no sources for many claims, and the sources they do provide are often dated and/or misconstrued.
I’m so disappointed that so many educated people accept this book as fact, without question.
Please see Emily Nagoski’s blog for a multipart online review of the book. Nagoski is a Smith College professor and sex educator. (Nagoski’s analysis of ‘Sex at Dawn’ restored my faith in the ability of sex-positive people to read and think critically!)
