This always was, and is, the natural order: Women want serial monogamy. She wants the highest-value man she can get, all to herself, until a better man wants her. Men want polygyny. He wants to collect as many high-value women that desire him, and will follow him, as he can.

Well, my simple counter is that you're pretty much wrong. It's amazing how often that is the case for someone's exciting new theory.

The data you've presented as being against the idea isn't opposed to it (paternity certainty) and haven't accounted in any way for trends that are readily observable both formally and informally. Women aren't naturally monogamous - they're susceptible to social pressure.
