What evidence is there for the monogamous behaviour becoming a natural response for humans? Cultural behaviour is not genetic behaviour or 'natural' behaviour. When asked, a majority of both sexes deem polygamy completely acceptable under different circumstances. If we were becoming a monogamour species then why are some of the major problems of monogamous relationships revolving around the question of monogamy vs polygamy? Could it indeed be that our culture does not represent us as a species?
People didn't choose their churches. They were born into them. Is that 'human culture' or is that the culture of the religious leaders of yesterday which they're imposing on the rest of us today?
If polygamy is so 'rare' in history then why did the Romans have a festival dedicating a few days of the year to fucking around? If it's so rare why did the cultures between Rome and today(in Europe) form different cultural habits of forcing unwed people together if they produced a baby? Could it be that polygamy is normal but the idea of collectively raising babies is either a new concept or a concept that the Judeo-Christian culture abhored? Note, modern societies raise babies(and children) together regardless of the relationship status of the parents.
