which type of economy most often practices polygyny?
rural areas with growing populations
today, polygyny is more widespread in africa than in any other continent. some scholars see the slave trade's impact on the male-to-female sex ratio as a key factor in the emergence and fortification of polygynous practices in regions of africa. generally in rural areas with growing populations, the higher the incidence of polygyny, the greater the delay of first marriage for young men. the higher the average polygyny rate, the greater the element of gerontocracy and social stratification.
polygyny
this species practices polygyny, usually bigamy, with the male travelling large distances to acquire a second mate. the male will mate with the secondary female and then return to the primary female in order to help with aspects of child rearing, such as feeding.
