3. When thinking about monogamous species, perhaps birds, are they actually demonstrating genetic monogamy (when DNA tests can confirm that a female's offspring were sired by only one father) or social monogamy (when animals form pairs to mate and raise offspring but still have fling, also known as "extra-pair copulations" in science lingo, on the side.) Why do we need to distinguish between the two?
