An entire industry \u2014 from couples therapy to sex supplements \u2014 has emerged to help people &ldquo;rekindle the spark&rdquo; without straying from the confines of monogamy. But Ryan and Jeth\u00e1 also have a theory for what&rsquo;s causing this misery: From a biological perspective, men and women simply aren&rsquo;t meant to be in lifelong monogamous unions. In &ldquo;Sex at Dawn,&rdquo; which uses evidence gathered from human physiology, archaeology, primate biology and anthropological studies of pre-agricultural tribes from around the world, they argue that monogamy and the nuclear family are more recent inventions than most of us would expect \u2014 and far less natural than we&rsquo;ve come to believe.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class='attribution'><a href=\"http:\/\/www.salon.com\/books\/nonfiction\/index.html?story=\/books\/feature\/2010\/06\/27\/sex_at_dawn_interview\">&ldquo;Sex at Dawn&rdquo;: Why monogamy goes against our nature &#8211; Nonfiction &#8211; Salon.com<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to Christopher Ryan and Cacilda Jeth\u00e1, the authors of the new book &ldquo;Sex at Dawn: The Prehistoric Origins of Modern Sexuality,&rdquo; the state of the American marriage is awfully grim.
