Maybe monogamy arose because we are social creatures, other social animals are monogamous.

Well, yeah. I'm not sure why there's this conviction that we're all programmed to be polygamous or whatever. Some of us are going to be monogamous in proclivity and others are going to be polygamous. Also, being biologically programmed to do something doesn't mean this will carry over unconditionally across generations or that it can't be changed within individuals. We're not robots after all.
