Abstract in brief
The study identifies 53 societies outside Himalayan and Marquesean areas that practice polyandry, aiming to describe their characteristics and explore causes.
It finds that polyandry, while considered rare, is more widespread than believed, especially in egalitarian societies, and likely existed in early human history.
The researchers suggest polyandry may be an evolutionary response to high male-biased sex ratios, male mortality, or absenteeism, although other factors may also play a role.]

@wontsomeonethi2 I think you’re right that women will tend not to marry multiple men. But there are certainly circumstances where polyandry makes sense, and things are worse where there are fewer norms to guide these unions.

Mas há estudos também que associam a poliandria a sociedades igualitárias, e pode ser mais provável de ocorrer em sociedades com maior razão sexual (mais homens na população) em resposta a altas taxas de mortalidade e absenteísmo masculino https://t.co/WIPUkD5mcY
