Polyandry (Ancient Greek: polys—many, anēr—man) is a form of polygamy whereby a woman takes two or more husbands at the same time.
Citat:
More recent studies have found 53 societies outside of the 28 found in the Himalayans which practice polyandry.[2]

Citat:
according to a recent paper in Human Nature co-authored by two anthropologists, Katherine Starkweather, a PhD candidate at the University of Missouri, and Raymond Hames, professor of anthropology at the University of Nebraska. While earning her masters under Hames' supervision, Starkweather undertook a careful survey of the literature, and found anthropological accounts of 53 societies outside of the "classic polyandrous" Tibetan region that recognize and allow polyandrous unions.
Citat:
Indeed, according to Starkweather and Hames, anthropologists have documented social systems for polyandrous unions "among foragers in a wide variety of environments ranging from the Arctic to the tropics, and to the desert." Recognizing that at least half these groups are hunter-gatherer societies, the authors conclude that, if those groups are similar to our ancestors -- as we may reasonably suspect -- then "it is probable that polyandry has a deep human history."

Det finns många män idag som inte kan få ett förhållande/sex med en kvinna. En lösning på detta är att ni delar på de kvinnor som är villiga genom att skapa polyandry förhållanden alltså att flera män gifter sig med samma kvinna och försörjer henne i utbyte mot relation/sex. Är detta en bra lösning på problemet?
