Monogamy is pretty much limited to birds. It's uncommon in mammals and in primates in particular. It's interesting that humans arrived at it.

- Razengan 8y agoDid we ever arrive at it? Even though most of us may desire lifelong partners, sexual monogamy is mostly socially-induced, not a natural instinct; indeed, social/sexual monogamy usually goes against our natural instincts. Throughout our history, it's also mostly practiced out of necessity/pressure by the underclasses/commoners* of human society, not the rulers/leaders/wealthy. * (not counting prostitution)
