Cuckoldry (human and nonhuman)
View through CrossRef
Cuckoldry is a form of sexual infidelity where a female is unfaithful to her social mate. It occurs in a wide range of species that have pair bonds. Humans appear to have a relatively low proportion of offspring sired by other than the social father. Whether cuckoldry serves male or female interests is unresolved, but its presence suggests ample scope for the evolution of paternity protection strategies.
