Another derogatory, offensive and spiteful post.

I know about scholar, and as far as research into this field.. I have actually been reading it for many years.

Your use of an example of slavery is downright mind boggling and does not help the argument one bit. Equating that lots of people appear to stay monogamous , is like how slavery was what we all use to do..? How is that te se at all? Seems to me a profoundly ignorant thing to say...
TESTING a theory or idea about monogamy is inherently hard to do... Gathering some statistical data that "men like to fool around" is neither good science nor proof.

Google Scholar is a search engine for research articles published in peer-reviewed, academic journals published worldwide. It's has absolutely nothing to do with the ability to "get anything published." But, hey, I give you credit for trying to respond.

As for your second point, the fact that humans engage in something doesn't make it the natural state of things. Do you think enslaving other humans is a natural state for the human race? Or do you think that those who enslave may think it is natural (and thus okay) because it was done in the generations that preceded their lives? Do you think the nature vs. nurture argument is a legitimate one for serious researchers?

(By the way, most humans accepted slavery in the U.S. South during a long period of America's history ... "but then again I didn't test that statement, so perhaps it's not true.")

Or, does real science and real scholarship, not the crap you're trying to associate with me through your insipid Google comment, hurt your brain?

If you knew about Google Scholar, then explain your post in which you tried to equate it with simple "googling" and tried to make it look like what I was referring to was "unscientific." There is no other way to interpret your statement "Oh sorry I wasnt tought in school that google overdides stringent testing of hypothesis, as was once considered "shown scientifically""

And I did not equate slavery and monogamy. You know that, but it doesn't serve your purpose to admit to understanding that the statement wasn't about equating the two, but to point out that humans can accept something that isn't natural, regardless of what it is.

You don't like to be called out for your posts, and so you accuse others of bullying you. Once again, the record is clear, and my post in response to yours -- the one you chose to mock with your "google" bullshit -- could not be more clear itself.
