Chris Ryan on Rethinking Monogamy and Human Nature
Chris Ryan, author of Sex at Dawn and Civilized to Death, and host of Tangentially Speaking podcast, questions the concept of normative heterosexual monogamy as a sustainable way of people living together. He argues that understanding human nature as a promiscuous species can lead to more compassion and self-awareness in relationships. Ryan discusses the cultural and historical influences on our perception of monogamy and challenges the assumption that it is a natural and universal behavior. He highlights the importance of considering hunter-gatherer societies and anthropological evidence in understanding human sexual behavior.
