I"m sending this to the Newt! Maybe this will stop him dumping his wives whenever they get sick. He doesn't have a Monogamy Gene!

snip:
Behavioral Neuroscience found that there is a "monogamy gene" in vole rodents that is less prevalent in its close cousin, the prairie vole. When prairie voles were injected with the gene, called the "vasopressin receptor," the usually promiscuous animals exhibited a greater attachment to their mates.
