Are humans being essentially monogamous or polygamous?

PJMingins82 @PJMingins82 (28) 25 May 12

Are human beings really only built to be polygamous or is this just an excuse on the part of those who have not found that one special person? An Australian author, Holly Hill, has admitted that she once thought humans were not...
