I've observed that many members of the species homo sapiens try
to prevent other members of their species from mating without their
having made a formal social contract. These animals also seem
interested in controlling the sex act itself, prohibiting mating in
certain positions and places, or between members of the same sex.
My question is, is this behavior unique to this species, or do other
primates also exhibit this behavior? Does this behavior occur in other
groups, or is it local to the populations on the European and North
American continents? Is there any reason for this behavior in terms of
natural selection?
References will be appreciated. Please reply by e-mail.
