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.

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."
