Ahhh...”polyandry” I think they (anthropologists) use to call it.
One of the most unusual (and disturbing) social systems. A form of population control in harsh lands with few resources.
All that from a survey course fifteen years ago. Man, I’m dull, sorry to bore you.

Coming soon to a liberal town near you. I doubt that.
Multiple partners without stability is more the liberal way.

Polyandry exists in extreme environments. It’s one of three forms of human marriage i.e monogamy (the human norm), polygyny, and polyandry.

As the article says, "fraternal polyandry."
One of the most unusual (and disturbing) social systems.
Probably less harsh than the "50% of men must remain single" alternative.
A form of population control in harsh lands with few resources.
That resource being "women."

There are people who are surrounded by bigots
and know it is wrong, but are afraid to be vocal against it.
These people are going to pull the lever for Obama
and they are not being polled.

At least these Indians don’t bathe in the Ganges River, or shoot arrows at cowboys.

I’ll bet breaking rocks is an easy job to find there, but how the heck would anyone farm that?

The article does say that...and if I read more more closely I wouldn’t have repeated...
