How does the brain of an unfaithful person work? – Part I
Today I will write to you about new discoveries in neuroscience regarding couples, polygamy and whether exclusivity in love really exists.
I explore these topics in depth in my book Naked Relationships, in the three-day Leaders Summit and in Vincularte retreats.

First Natural Scientific Ideas:
- Being monogamous refers to the exclusive sexual bond, love and morality.
- We are a species that makes love, outside of the ovulation process.
- The mammals that are most different from each other are the ones that fight the most for a partner and are more aggressive in order to stay close to the family nucleus.
- Infidelity has genetic, biological, psychological and social bases.
Anthropological origin of infidelity:
The ancestral origin of monogamy is due to the fact that females delimited larger territories.
Carnivores and primates encouraged living in pairs to save energy and facilitate food delivery.
The species became monogamous to avoid infanticide.
The species that need more
those who are cared for in childhood are the ones who have the biggest brains. Bigger brains mean that their birth rate is better taken care of.
Above 700 cm3 of cranial volume (large brain size) the number of offspring decreases and the probability of promiscuity declines.
