Is monogamy a social construct?

[King Jae]

The majority of the world does not practice polygamy

They do....the west in not the entire world.....I know its hard to believe because its all we know....how many ppl have sides and jumps in America an alleged monogamous society? You form a spiritual tie to everyone you have sex with....so you have had multiple wives in your lifetime whether on paper or not or whether you have claimed them.... Polyamorous or polygamist relationships are one in the same to me...

Women are a key to success. They attract make buyers and make you an alpha. You are one of the haves as opposed to the have nots.

Multiple women also means more sons, which ultimately means more military power and a longer legacy.

Basically, the bigger your concerns the bigger your means of dealing with them.

Not in a court of law it isn't lol. Being able to legally marry multiple people is not practiced in most of the world. Which is what I assume you meant by polygamy; the legal definition. Peep the polygamy map

Green = polygamy
Grey = monogamy

Well versed I see....yea plus some old things I read about the Dogon tribe years back...they belived that a man would become homosexual if he had sex with another mans women because that man essence was embedded into that woman in a number of ways.....sperm, saliva, teachings etc.... I can kinda see where they are coming from when you think about it...you have sex with another mans woman you are having sex with his essence...that's why I stopped messing with other dudes women.....

There are at least 5 billion people in the green area....India is a billion and some change alone....majority of Africa alone equals billion on its own.....that doesn't really dispute what I'm saying....no beef tho....thanks for the chart never really seen it broke down like that tho....

I didn't know there were other magus' here but it makes sense from your name. It does put things into perspective. Where did you read the Dogon info? I've been meaning to get more knowledge about them.

If you think it's recent and a social construct, you're wrong.........

Human origins and the transition from promiscuity to pair-bonding​

The majority of the world practices polygamy.....monogamy is celebrated in the west because of the money aspect I think

This is false. Monogamy is the 'norm' because of evolution. Polygamy spread due to religion, especially in Africa......

As different thinkers, Engels among others, have already stressed, polygamy is the trait of no single people; it has been and continues to be practiced by the upper classes in all countries, perhaps not in different degrees, but in different forms. It was customary among the German aristocracy of the time of Tacitus, in Greece at the time of Agamemnon, throughout the whole of Asia and in Egypt among the family of the pharaohs and the dignitaries of the court. In all these countries, without damage to the existing morality, this luxury was open to anyone if he had the means, but monogamy was the rule at the level of the mass of the people, particularly in Africa. In so far as Africa is considered to be the land of polygamy, it is important to emphasize this fact. In sculptural and pictorial representations, the monogamy of the people is proved by the numerous couples depicted.

..........​

It seems that this was so in all Africa during the late Middle Ages, until the tenth century, which marks the extension of Islam to the native populations, through the Almoravidians. Polygamy tended in this way to become general, without ever ceasing to be a sign of social rank. Thus, it is not rare to see members of the lower classes who, seeking to deceive themselves about their own social rank, marry several wives.

Sooner or later, y'all gonna stop parroting that 'humans are just animals and monogamy is not normal' garbage.

But we have animal traits. The point is to subdue those traits. Like Asuar rising above sobek. Also how do you explain hypergamy?
