Polygamy

"Many mammals and some few birds are polygamous, but with animals belonging to the lower classes I have found no evidence of this habit. The intellectual powers of such animals are, perhaps, not sufficient to lead them to collect and guard a harem of females" (263). This quote reminds me of the countless episodes of Saved by the Bell I used to watch in middle school. Zach would always try to play Kelly, and get with some other blonde ditz. This quote struck me because it always seemed that Zach always got caught in his games of love and affection. Although Zach's failure to achieve polygamy may have in fact been Screech's fault, Zach was unable to guard his harem of females.
