Are Humans created Monogamous?

Well, there were polyandrous systems too in India as well as matriarchal systems. There were systems where the children fathered by dominant castes were accepted as their own. I think we have tried all sort of systems. The flavor now is equal rights for men or women. Children do not need a father's name in passports or school admissions, mother's name would do just as well.

In classical Nayar culture, men were usually away at war. Women ran village life.
There were no particular sexual tabus. Returning men could have sex with whom they wished, but if a woman became pregnant there was a problem. If a Nayar man did not acknowledge the possibility that he could be the father there was suspicion that the father might be a non-Nayar outsider, and the liaison illegitimate. If a Nayar man did acknowledge possible fatherhood all was well, and there might even be a ceremony -- and cake!

In Anthropological circles, Nayar "marriage" is a source of endless dispute over what constitutes marriage, and weather actual marriage even existed in Nayar society.

A few courses in Cultural Anthropology can be eye-opening. Patterns of Culture vary widely.

There are numerous polygamous systems, many polygynous, and a few polyandrous. There are also many systems that are not clearly marriages, in the Western sense. Nuclear families, cohabitation and sexual exclusivity are not particularly common, outside of Western society. There is no "normal."

Matri-archal systems? In elephants, maybe. But I know of none in humans. Classical Spartans, maybe?

In the beginning a human brother and sister with no ceremonial family organisation existed.

They had sex and weren't married. As no other human existed to marry them.

Sex was considered the marriage as human pairs were mutual.

Then babies born imbalanced natural pairing.

So humans paired by choice. Marriage a ceremony claim the chosen pair.

Other humans simply remained without a partner. A part of community.

Civilization owned keeping of records why ceremony was introduced to keep record.

In family a tribal community meant to honour. Sex was not involved if you cared for a deceased family losses.

Community always took care of family. It's a natural human communal trait.

Polygymy evolved in a sexually stimulated chemical irradiated biological change caused by human chosen science radiation fallout. Where humans chemical body conditions changed.

Inability to control urges.

As men invented science by mens thinking they were worse bodily affected by introduced caused sexual stimulus.

Which extends its realisations into sex act.

As men owned control in civilization men changed the rules whenever men felt like it.

As sisters find it difficult to see another sister coddled by the man they love personally in human truth.

Instead indoctrinated to accept it by man's imposed law.

In life communal community tribal working together assisting each other was natural and not sexual.

Which is seemingly forgotten in human memory.

No why? We have matriarchal system in Manipur, Meghalaya, Kerala and Karnataka.
Its Time for Equality: Matrilineal Societies in India Might Be The Answer

"In India, matriarchy is found in certain part of Assam and certain parts of Kerala and Karnataka. The social structure of these communities have various elements which are different from other communities of India. Keeping in mind the requirements of these communities, various personal laws related to succession and other family matters had been amended to meet the requirement of these communities."

There are many matrilineal systems all over the world, but matriarchy is not the same thing. Matriarchy is political.

Well, I have matriarchy in my family. My wife is the head of the family. Nothing can happen without her consent. :D
