This makes absolutely zero sense. Not only is a figure of 40% male reproduction compatible with polygyny, it is solely compatible with polygyny.
If humans were monogamous as you suggest, the figure of male reproduction would be far closer to 100%. But we’re not. We’re polygynous — a harem-based species. And the 40% figure you just cited proves that: Less than half of the men mate with all of the women. That’s not called monogamy dude. That is called polygyny.
