Zusammenfassung
Schimpansen leben in einem polygynandrienen Paarungssystem, in dem sich Weibchen mit mehreren Männchen und Männchen mit mehreren Weibchen paaren. Vermutlich haben sich Menschen nach dem pan-homo Split vor ca. 7 Millionen Jahren von einem polygynandrienen zu einem polygynen (Harem) und dann zu einem überwiegend monogamen Paarungssystem entwickelt. Die Sexualität des Jetzt-Menschen zeigt zugleich Merkmale des älteren polygynen und des neueren monogamen Paarungssystems. In diesem Kapitel werden zahlreiche Beispiele von Anpassungen an das ältere und an das jüngere Paarungssystem des Menschen erläutert. Im Ergebnis bedeutet es, dass wir Menschen ein sexuelles Mischwesen sind. Daraus können sich Probleme in unserer Sexualität und Partnerschaft ergeben. Die Kenntnis dieser sehr verschiedenen sexuellen Strategien des Jetzt-Menschen hilft, die eigene Sexualität und insbesondere die des Gegengeschlechts besser zu verstehen und eine gute Sexualtherapie zu machen.
