Humans rank above meerkats but below beavers in monogamy league table
However, this study is done by sibling survey (monogamy produces siblings with two identical parents, while promiscuity produces half-siblings with shared maternal DNA), which means it does not account for male promiscuity. A male in “spread” colonies (humans belong there) who fathers kids across large swaths, will probably not be surveyed correctly (Hamburg, Munich, Amsterdam, London, and NYC vs. Ottenhofen, Bavaria).
