A joint study by researchers from four universities has suggested women could improve quality of their offspring by mating with multiple partners.I'm always cautious about citing the behavior of other species to support/oppose human behavior, but less cautious about comparing biological results.
Experts examined the behaviour of an ancestor of the domestic chicken and found that mating with different males helped females produce offspring that are more resistant to disease, Daily Mail reported.
Now they claim their findings could be applied to other animals as well as humans.
In humans, polyandrous families (and polyamorous families in general) have found that having more adults around to assist, supervise, and protect children can always be helpful.

To prevent spam, comments will have to be approved, so your comment may not appear for several hours. Feedback is welcome, including disagreement. I only delete/reject/mark as spam: spam, vulgar or hateful attacks, repeated spouting of bigotry from the same person that does not add to the discussion, and the like. I will not reject comments based on disagreement, but if you don't think consenting adults should be free to love each other, then I do not consent to have you repeatedly spout hate on my blog without adding anything to the discourse.
