#1 Breaking news: new study reveals that most researchers are unattractive men.

#2 Males have the biological prerogative to spread their DNA around. Females have two, different prerogatives. The first is to get the best male DNA for their offspring, and the second is to get the best male provider to help raise the offspring.

If there are a lot of males, this means they are most likely not the same male. In basic biology, this means that both males and females have an incentive to violate monogamy.

But this is just basic biology. People figured out that *enforced* monogamy, marriage, as an agreement, gives males, females, and their offspring a better deal in the long run. For males, it helps insure the offspring have his DNA. For females, that provision by the males goes solely to her offspring. And the advantage to the children is obvious.

But it only works if marriage is enforced. When society was no longer willing to do that, then the *benefits* of enforcement had to be duplicated by the law.

Eventually this means that the law will reproduce the major elements of marriage. DNA tests will assure the male the offspring are his. Alimony and child support will insure that he continues to support his offspring for the female. And the children are the focus of this action.

Now, this being said, the question becomes what females want in an unattractive mate? Perhaps she wants his DNA, as attractiveness may be of lesser value to her offspring than other traits; or she may want an unattractive mate because it is less likely that he will bond with another female.
