The idea of monogamy as a relationship ideal is based on flawed science


Is monogamy actually better than non-monogamy?
It’s still very much an open question—and one with no clear answers, in part because scientists can’t break free of a certain worldview gripping their field. Monogamy is so much a part of the emotional makeup of Western culture that even people who study relationships fail to notice their biases towards it, according to research due to be published this week. And that means the very way we study intimacy has some fundamental flaws.
