Earlier in this thread there was some talk on the question "How long has polyamory been around?" (Not just the word, but the thing the word names.)
I just found a few words on that topic worth sharing:

Of course, here Franklin Veaux has made an assertion without an explanation or an offering of evidence to back up this assertion. But it seems a reasonable assertion to make. Perhaps one or several of us could ask him to explain his assertion further and offer any evidence he knows about. (?)

Polyamory is a new idea (?)
Polyamory as a social movement is relatively new, but polyamory as a practice has been around for a very long time indeed, even though the word “polyamory” has not. Conscious, ethical, deliberate non-monogamy is hardly a modern ideal; it’s been around for as long as we have been civilized animals.
