Rape happened for so long because we had a basic, innate desire to procreate and no system of communication- and later no established civilized behavior upon which to base our actions.
Once people became civilized, it was no longer called rape, it was called "arranged marriage". How many of those women do you think actually WANTED sex from some guy they've just met that day? Their hand was forced.
Today, despite the arrangement of marriages still in practice, we consider rape solely as the act of a person forcing sex or sexual actions on another person.
It seems like everyone is ignoring a very easy question, though...
Would the man really have to rape these women to further the species? Was there no one woman willing to give herself to have a child, knowing that she may be the last mother of the human race? And if ALL 50 women said no, are you obligated to force them? I'd say, "you asked, you tried, that's good enough."
Rape is the most disgusting crime. I can't imagine anyone "justifying" it in their mind for any reason.
