14: The Evolution of Relations in the Human Species

In terms of human history, how did the idea of “locking someone into a relationship” develop? Dr. Lisle discusses the evolution of relations in the human species eventually getting to why are people  winding up in a relationship that they feel they have to stay in.  There is a brief discussion about the book Sex at Dawn and the argument for polyamory.
