Monogamy's Indelible Mark on Society

Societies, despite efforts to promote polyamory, often revert to monogamy, revealing an inherent human inclination towards it. Instances of individuals leaving polyamorous structures to pursue monogamous relationships highlight this trend. This phenomenon is evident in both small and large-scale societies, suggesting that monogamy is a robust social norm, resilient to various influences, including religion. Even cultures with minimal exposure to Abrahamic religions, such as ancient China, exhibit a preference for monogamy, reinforcing the idea that once societies reach a certain scale, monogamous structures are typically adopted, indicating a fundamental aspect of human social organization.
