High testosterone indicates polygamy

Men with high testosterone levels are more likely to have multiple wives, according to a new study.

High testosterone levels have been linked to increased sexual activity, infidelity and marital conflict. However, after men become fathers, their bodies typically pump out less of the hormone.

"This is good for us, so we can adapt to social challenges very quickly," New Scientist quoted Alexandra Alvergne, an anthropologist at the University of Montpellier, France, and the University of Sheffield, UK, who led the new study, as saying.
