With the capture of Warren Jeffs, head of the Fundamental Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (FLDS), the discussion was raised as to how polygamy can affect the population at large. Generally speaking, I feel that what consenting adults choose to do is there problem, however, the fact that he was arrange marriages between older men and 14-year-olds is pretty disturbing. However, the issue I want to raise is the abandonment of young men in order to eliminate the competition from the older members of the community. This behavior is common in elephant seals where the “bachelors” are ostracized from the herd and may never get the chance to mate. If this is prevalent in nature, what is the best solution to deal with it in human society? Once again, “the limiting factor is females” (Dawkins), and I feel that the community would serve as an excellent example for the mating habits of humans and the human demand to detach itself from primal urges.
