LiegentSex at Dawn: The Prehistoric Origins of Modern Sexuality
Why do modern relationships suffer from epidemic sexual dysfunction, soaring divorce rates, and widespread infidelity despite centuries of moral instruction promoting monogamy? Christopher Ryan's work reveals that these problems stem from forcing humans into unnatural sexual arrangements that contradict our evolutionary design. This short dismantles the scientific narrative that humans evolved for lifelong pair bonding by examining evidence from our closest primate relatives, pre-agricultural societies, and human anatomy itself. Ryan offers a revolutionary solution: instead of fighting our naturally social and flexible sexuality with moral restrictions that consistently fail, we can build healthier relationships by designing social structures that work with human nature rather than against it, potentially transforming how we approach love, marriage, and sexual satisfaction.
Christopher Ryan holds a Ph.D. in psychology from Saybrook University, where his doctoral dissertation analyzed the prehistoric roots of human sexuality. His interdisciplinary approach combines evolutionary psychology, anthropology, and primatology to challenge mainstream narratives about human sexual behavior. Ryan's research focuses on distinguishing human nature from cultural conditioning, positioning him as a leading voice questioning conventional assumptions about monogamy and pair bonding in human evolution.
