No. Polygamous. Monogamy is a social creation. There is nothing in nature that tells us to stay with one partner for the rest of our life. There are very few monogamous animals and the majority of them are birds. This is usually due to facultative(Male chooses to stay with female because he has no other opportunities) or obligate(When both parents are needed to ensure the survival of the kids).

I don't know of any reason why humans would be monogamous by nature. It's all based on nurture.
