Actually, biologically speaking, women don't desire monogamy any more than men do. women desire K-selected breeding strategies which entail fewer offspring and increased parental care for these offspring. Males desire r-selected breeding strategies which is the opposite with large numbers of offspring and little parental care.

All primates operate under K-selected breeding strategies. unfortunately for your argument above, not all primate social groups utilize monogamous relationships. thus the choice of breeding strategies and the relationships within social groups operate independant from each other.

I agree. I didn't want to go tangential into primate breeding behavior. But, thanks for the clarification.
