Good question; we don't yet. We already know that lifelong monogamous marriage doesn't seem to work for most people. So it would be nice to have a few field-tested options out there for different kinds of folks.
Usually I love what @jordanbpeterson says, but here he makes some real blunders in confusing polyamory with polygyny, casual sex, & superficial relationships. Please learn more about this fast-growing subculture before misrepresenting it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbjX4l-WBN0 …

We have only come to believe this from a fairly short anomalous period of human history. Peterson’s suppositions are based on a much longer and wider sample set. I suspect that the cultural transition from tribal and extended family honor to individual liberation play a big part.

Also low dimorphism would be consistent with poly networks and roughly equal variance in male and female reproductive success.

I disagree that polyamory is a form of polygyny, or casual sex, or superficial relationships. Those are just category errors.

You do poly very different from the way others do poly. But that's fine.

Can you point to some resources? I’ve only met one person who has lived a polamorous lifestyle and it doesn’t seem much different than serial monogamy with side benefits.
