The Guardian: "Are we hard-wired for infidelity?"

[stopdiggin]

1. there are also variations on how it is possible to LOOK at the question

What is the construct - and how are the various components there viewed?

I.e., is 'staying', 'pairing' - the same thing as (or always the equivalent of) fidelity and sexual monogamy?
Is a 'thrill seeker' essentially the same thing (or motivated by the same factors - or more pointedly DNA?) - as a person that leaves a 10 year marriage, due to boredom, incompatibility, or rediscovered emotion/love in another 'partner'? Is 'pairing' or fidelity the same thing, or even similar, in the two cases?

Then too - how much of 'pairing'/sexual monogamy is really more social construct, pressure and expectation - as compared to 'hard wired' behavior? Where does polygamy and partner plurality fit into a construct of 'pairing' and 'staying' .. ?

Biology is one thing ... How we view (interpret and judge) our behaviors ... Is kind of in a different corner of the room.
