I think people hooked up with whoever was handy. I studied Australian aborigine culture undergrad. The tribes have very complicated rules for who can marry whom, but the population is so small that once you find a group you can marry into, it's the luck of the draw whether there is someone of the right age who isn't already taken. Among Australian aborigines, the young women marry the old men because the old men make the rules, and have all the power and all the material goods. Young men marry older widows. (They practice polygyny, but not polyandry.) But young men and young women fool around out in the desert when nobody is looking. So how does that affect your DNA theory?
