Women are 'genetically programmed to have affairs'
'Lifelong monogamy does not characterise the primary mating patterns of humans,' says Dr David Buss from the University of Texas
Women are predisposed by their genetics to have affairs as "back-up plans'" if their relationships fail, according to a research paper.
Scientists at the University of Texas say they are challenging the assumption that humans have evolved to have monogamous relationships.
The team's research has put forward the "mate-switching-hypothesis" which says humans have evolved to keep testing their relationships and looking for better long-term options.
