Monogamy is a form of sexual socialism. Allowing men to only have one woman. Otherwise the most powerful men end up with all the women. Women will still usually stick to one man, but men are naturally promiscuous so they end up with multiple women. This means that the most powerful men end up impregnating most of the women. You can even end up in a Ghengis Khan situation eventually where one man is a common ancestor to a massive percentage of the population.

I think monogamy is a great idea.

The reason why so many people are related to Genghis Khan is not because he impregnated hundred thousands of women. Genghis Khan just lived a very long time ago and therefore has many descendants. Just think about how many descendants even your own great great grand father has.

This is a great video that illustrates how this works.

Basically if you go back enough generations you will reach a generation in which every person living at that time is related to you.
For Europeans for example you only have to go back 1200 years to reach that generation. This means that every European today is related with Charlemagne for example.
