Most of human history has been polygamous. Strong men or men with rich material conditions will marry more wives and have the ability to raise more offspring. Weak or needy men can only have one, even without a spouse. Relatively speaking, the continuation of offspring is also more difficult. This ensures that excellent genes can survive, and naturally weed out genes that cannot adapt well to the environment. Polygamy is basically similar to the "survival of the fittest" in nature.
In the history of human civilization for thousands of years, monogamy has only a history of more than 100 years. Since the implementation of this system, it has been challenged more and more. Divorce rates in developed countries in the world are not low, and many people, especially some elites, have questioned this system. For example, is it reasonable? Is it the most ideal marriage system design in our human society? How long can it last?
Since the marriage system is a social system designed by humans, it will continue to evolve and evolve until it finally adapts to the level of development of productivity. The development of material life, the popularization of education, the popularization of the Internet and many other factors have brought huge impacts and changes to the marriage system. There are more and more single men and women. Will there be more flexible family structures in the future, such as polygamy, polyandry, short-term contractual couples, or even marriage as an organization form? The development of technology may bring about revolutionary changes. Similarly, the marriage system may also undergo fundamental changes due to the development of technology and society.
