>high sexual dimorphism in humans indicates they have a tendency to form harems
>high intelligence and social cooperation evolve in pre-modern men as a successful reproductive trait to overcome this
>intelligent men "trick" their way out of winner-takes-all harems by implementing social institutions like pair bonding and marriage
>modern human society develops since intelligence and cooperation now lead to higher reproductive fitness than being the biggest, strongest ape
>hundreds of thousands of years pass
>social institutions falling apart, harems coming back
