Polygamy is good for a man and a woman does not
A new U.S. study has shown that polygamy is good for men but not women, in the sense that the more wives a man got on more children, but each wife gives birth to a number less.
And move the location of 'Life Science' from the U.S. study author Michael Wade of Indiana University as saying that the search conducted with colleagues to determine the effects of polygamy showed that men who marry several women are having dozens of children but this is an adverse impact on women, so that with each woman to join the family retreat rate of children of each wife and one son.
Wade said that 'the greater the number of wives the number of children born to each of them personally.'
He added that this result is interesting 'and biologists can develop specialized knowledge to say that polygamy is good for men but not very good for women'.
The researchers had to check the data of 150 thousand men and women born between the 1830 and 1894, and about 635 thousand of their descendants in the state of Utah.
It turns out that men who married many women have had a greater number of boys, and for every additional wife is expected to have a man 6 additional children, but that every wife in the relationship gives birth to an average of one child less when increasing the wife.
The researchers found that when he became polygamy is illegal decreased the gap between men and polygamists singles by 58%.
Wade said that 'if one has one partner, the maximum number of children a man would be the same for the maximum number of women', so the end of polygamy make the sexes in the case of cooperation.
