Interesting - not sure I agree with all of it, but some points in this article were thoughtful...
I especially thought the polygamous societies being uniformly more violent was amazing... and dovetails with the radio bit I heard recently (on 'The World') about how phone porn is so prevalent in Middle Eastern societies, where opposite sexes cannot even touch before marriage, dowries are high, and men are convinced they will never get married (or have sex...)
Polygamy/violence, and more:

The human nature "truths" piece seemed pretty well founded and made perfect sense to me. I do think some of the logic seemed a bit circular in nature but that can't always be helped in discussions of this kind.
All in all, a good find. :o)
