Monogamy/polygamy are interesting things to explore. What hasn't been mentioned is all the other human societies that allow polygamy and relationships like that, are all just for the men. I don't know of any human societies that allow women to be polygamous and marry more than one man. Can't wait for that sexual revolution!
There are biological reasons why it's more logical for men to have multiple partners and women to be content with just one. So maybe that is the evolutionary logic. It just makes me wonder what the point of marriage is once you start having relationships that encompass multiple partners for both the husband and wife. What remains special between the one you marry and yourself if you have that kind of relationship with several women/men? I'm not saying that in a derrogatory way, either. Maybe we are moving toward a marriage-less, polyamoric society?
