What we homosaps have labeled "polygamy" is what natural selection selected to ensure the survival of our species.
What many do not realize is that in nature, it worked both ways. Not only was the strongest male able to dominate the gene pool by mating with multiple females, but the strongest females would jump from one strong male to another to ensure optimal fertilization.
Those instincts are still very much alive and well within us naked apes. Our social (including religious) taboos slow us down -- but can't stop us completely.
Does this unnatural governing of optimal reproduction bode well for the genetic future of our species? Only time will tell.
