This always was, and is, the natural order: Women want serial monogamy. She wants the highest-value man she can get, all to herself, until a better man wants her. Men want polygyny. He wants to collect as many high-value women that desire him, and will follow him, as he can.

Which is why the false paternity rate < 2% everywhere in the Western world, going back at minimum hundreds of years.

Men have a stronger interest in preventing women from acting on those desires but since women almost all reproduce their desire to do so hasn't been selected out. Men win that contest when society doesn't break down.

You have a massive selective event for men ~10k years ago. There's no such selective pressure for women. There's no mtDNA selective bottleneck to radically change women's nature so they get minor tweaks to the old behavioral program which is still there and ready to activate.

I don't think there was any massive selective event 10k years ago.

Wow that’s pretty fascinating. A quick search led me to this for anyone else interested in that graph: https://dienekes.blogspot.com/2015/03/bottleneck-in-human-y-chromosomes-in.html … Considering how many groups were impacted I can’t see how it was cultural? Virus maybe?

It wasn't a virus - it was expansion and warfare. Conquer the neighboring tribe, take their women as concubines. Intense selective pressure on men to cooperate in war bands; selective pressure on women to accept it (which they mostly did, obviously).

Eyeballing the graph that’s 1 man for every 50 women! That’s insane!

That's a lot of conquest. That's a thunderdome of selection.
