Vanessa there was notions as love,couple,and such among humans,since a very long time,as,a very long time ago,humans were very vulnerable to possible predators during several years and need father and mother together to protect them the most.
Yes, exactly, it's round about 7 years. That's why so many relationships break after 7 years, it's then easier to protect the children then when they are younger.
Ines First, I have not presented evolution as something closedEven is evident that in last centuries the infantile mortality has improved drastically, and are not longer necessary big families,
Because of cultural development, the number of centuries is 1 or 2 and it's only valid for Europe. A typical family in counties like Bangladesh is much bigger.
Ines it is evident that reproductive strategy of humans was and is care of our children,
I never said something different.
Ines no to have a lot of them
That's wrong.
Ines Even in past a long number of children was necessary for mortality, but number did not substitute the care of our children.
I never said something different.
Ines In less advanced Societies families are bigger, but anyway, parents make all possible to preserve all of them. We are not salmons.
O never said something different.
Ines but I do not see relationship between matriarchal societies and reproductive strategies.
There are societies where there are no 1:1 relationships and people have children with several partners.
Ines Our brain, our hands and our orale expression make possible an advanced society of advanced mammals, a mouse, with all my respect to them, are less advanced.
Yes, but the mouse is more advanced in smelling, the leopard is more advanced in running and some bugs are more advanced in living with radioactivity. Any animal has different strategies to survive. We have a big brain to think and hands to work with.
Ines About plenty of partners, there is not any evidence of being better,
That's wrong. There is an evidence that the more generic combinations you have the more likely is it that at least one survives. There are a lot of genetic diseases and more combinations means less risks. Society just don't care about biology anymore.
Ines bonobos have a lot of partners, but it is in order to avoid conflicts, they are intelligent mammals and use the sex as a tool for peace.
Yes, and it has nothing to do with reproduction.
Ines A lot of animals choice one partner life, wolves, ducks or beavers.
Yes, and a lot of animals don't do it, like naturally the humans, we did this for million of years and stopped a few thousand years ago for cultural reasons in most parts of Eurasia but not all over the world.
