Editing Promiscuity (section)

==Evolution==
[[Evolutionary psychology|Evolutionary psychologists]] propose that a conditional [[human]] tendency for promiscuity is inherited from [[hunter-gatherer]] ancestors. Promiscuity increases the likelihood of having children, thus "evolutionary" fitness. According to them, female promiscuity is advantageous in that it allows females to choose fathers for their children who have better genes than their mates, to ensure better care for their offspring, have more children, and as a form of fertility insurance.<ref>Anthony Browne [https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2000/sep/03/anthonybrowne.theobserver Women are promiscuous, naturally. Some Scientists now believe infidelity is a genetic mechanism for creation of healthy children.] The Observer, September 3, 2000.</ref> Male promiscuity was likely advantageous because it allowed males to father more children.
