Where did the practice of monogamy start? And what were the drivers? A more cohesive society? To manage gene flow? Better suited for industrialisation?

It has been widely adopted and you don't see any other model predominating in G7 or even G30 countries so it works in that sense. What are the downsides of monogamy in terms of impacts on physical and mental health? And on crime and types of crime. Domestic violence for example? Does history point to alternatives that were successful and could they work now?

I get why women would wear makeup or facial ornaments but they also spend a massive amount of money and attention on moisturizers and cleansers that are not outwardly visible. Some women have the same brand and follow the same application ritual for decades. Many feel anxious and irritable if they can't moisturize regularly.
