historically humans were not monogamous like we are today. So why is lifetime monogamy now seen as the default?

We are a product of both our social and physical abilities and environments.

This has been pretty much proven. Since our society is pretty much monogamous we are more inclined to be monogamous.

The total opposite is true of the Zo'é tribe of Brazil. Since they are a polygamous society and have always been so.

It's also why the Brazilian government has them proscribed against any visitors. Most especially by any religious visitors. They don't want to contaminate that particular society.

I actually agree with them on this.

Religion contaminates societies!!
