I always though that part of the purpose of civilization, marriage and faith was so that we could rise above our physical (animal/genetic) nature. In a civilized society, some genetic proclivities should be struggled against and censured. Instead, in modern America, we say "Oh, my genes make me act this way, so it's no big deal."

Uh, this study was done and conclusions drawn in the UK. You'll just have to slam all of western civilization on this one, I guess
