With the institution of pair bonds, sex became something conducted within families.

А просто ведь?

infidelity poses very different kinds of risk for men and for women. For a woman, the threat posed by her husband having a mistress is not so much the sexual dalliance in itself but rather the possibility that he may switch his support to his paramour and away from his family. The withdrawal of support would reduce her reproductive fitness, as measured by the chance of raising her children successfully to maturity.
Serious as that danger may be to a woman's interests, the risk to a man of his wife's infidelity is considerably graver. For him, the threat is that he may not be the father of his wife's children. In evolutionary terms, a man who devotes his life to raising another man's children has seen his Darwinian fitness reduced to zero.

It is no surprise, therefore, that men have gone to great lengths to secure exclusive access to women whose children they have undertaken to raise, with methods that range from foot-binding and genital mutilation to purdah, veils, chadors and an array of laws and customs restricting women's activities. However abhorrent the means, the motivation stems from the inherent vulnerability of male reproductive strategy: mother's baby, father's maybe.

который все назвал бы своим именами
в «Черепахе» я ща нашел кусок про крещеный мир с манукянчиком и к огромному удивлению увидел что девочка там говорит не
— Какой ты умный Манукянчик.
а
— Какой ты умный, Вова.
При этом в поисковой выдаче торчит куча страниц где цитируют тоже как я помнил.
Что за феномен? Или там где-то еще есть похожая реплика, и уже с «манукянчиком» ?
