Marriage—or at least a lifetime commitment between two people—has sprung up independently in many cultures across the world. While one might argue that the effects of evolution no longer 'apply' to contemporary society, it's clear that the requirements of childrearing favor two-party lifetime (or 'marital') commitments. These findings together seem to imply that this type of commitment has its roots in innate human needs.
