Okay, fair enough. I don't think it's revealing about that. I think instead it's useful for thinking about why people suddenly start thinking "people aren't made for monogamy" as soon as fertility declines.

ah okay, i think i see now where you’re coming from. you’re not talking about the ESS, you’re talking about something like sepsis or the caterpillar game
-
i think i may have written about this i’ll look for link later (this was where cyb-n and i first discussed this) but there are lots of other interesting possibilities
-
for example monogamy could be an ESS in the strict sense but collapse when non-monogamy gets above fraction epsilon (b/c it requires some degree of homogeneity) or it could require in-group dynamics to keep monogamy stable within N mostly-endogamous populations
