The best evidence suggests that humans, like most other vertebrates, are not exclusive in their sexual relationships. But there's also good reason to believe that, despite our sexual infidelity, we're "wired" to act otherwise. So for those who are inclined to cite our biological underpinnings, it's important to consider more than just one aspect. We benefit from being sexually liberal while appearing sexually conservative.
