Jealousy has had a bad press in the twentieth century. Psychologists have declared it a symptom of immaturity and whisked 'sufferers' into therapy. Capitalism, patriarchy, culture and socialisation have been blamed for it and advocates of open relationships have volubly reviled it. David Buss, however, argues that while jealousy in excess can of course be damaging, it may also be an effective coping strategy to deal with real threats to our closest relationships. There is also evolutionary logic in the 'dangerous passion'. Our male ancestors had genetic paternity to safeguard and females had their offspring to protect.
