Just like there is a biological component in favor of monogamy: jealousy and feelings of attachment.

Biology pulls us both ways.

I'd be interested to see something showing biology favors monogamy. I think it doesn't. I think it stems from other things beyond our bodies alone.
I think men think about sex much more often than women as a whole and visualize having it with more than a few of the women they encounter.
Doesn't mean they'd act on it. Not acting on it means we can control our biology.

If there were no jealosy and we didn't form emotional attachments to those we are intimate with, we would be a 100% polygomous species. The fact that we have always had some individuals who are polygomous while others are monogomous is a clear indication that our biology pulls us both ways.

I thought it was mostly primitive and ancient societies that were polygamous or polyandrous?
In less advanced times, like pastoral times, it's easier to be polygamous but later when economics advanced only a few practiced it as it strains the resources of men. It's quite expensive, so it was mainly
kings and the wealthy that practiced it where it was allowed. ( or concubinage) Having more than one wife was a sign of power and wealth. Also, some primitive societies held property in common which is another reason there were multiple sexual mates. Interestingly enough, this is why it is favored among Marxists, as in everyone's wife belongs to all. In other situations it was due to the scarcity of males, arising from wars or too many female births. So I would conclude that the arrangement is economic and survival while men still have a biological urge to mate with other women even if they don't act on it. One is relies on analytical reasoning in order to survive the other biological.

I would bet that if the major religions didn't tell us that we are going to hell if we commit adultery, then most would be polygamous

Most, no. There still would be relatively few men that could afford multiple wives.

China better check into polyandry if the male/female imbalance continues, however.

It's a bummer to have rules isn't it?

Adultery is when a married person has sex with someone other than their husband/wife. Unmarried sex is just plain old fornication.

I've never cheated on my wife or before that a girlfriend, therefore the monogamy.
