@Striker:
As someone who tried briefly in earlier in their life to be monogamous and absolutely hated it, I can assure you that all of humanity is not "naturally" monogamous. I'm far more comfortable in polyamorous arrangements than I ever was in monogamy. I know quite a few other people who are this way, too. I also know quite a number of people that are comfortable in either monogamous or polyamorous relationships.
That said, and as it's already been stated, the premise of the question is flawed. A lot of what we assume to be inherent to "human behavior" simply isn't. Humans have a massive amount of variety in their preferences and traits and I see no reason why a tendency towards mono or poly would be any different.
Well said!
