Nope, I was just saying it's interesting. The genetics is one side of it (and something I don't have a clue about) but I think it would be hard for anyone to argue that polygyny (ie. some men having multiple wives and others having none at all) hasn't been a massive part of human history - and still is common in places that didn't get christianised.
"Research done at the University of Wisconsin found that, of 1231 societies listed, 186 are monogamous, 453 had occasional polygyny, 588 had more frequent polygyny, and four had polyandry. However, in many societies, taking on more than one wife is beyond the means of most people, because they do not have enough money to support that large of a family..'

&"“It’s not unexpected,” says
Dmitri Petrov, an evolutionary geneticist at Stanford University in California. “Polygamy is something you would expect to find.” Petrov and his colleagues uncovered the same genetic pattern in fruit flies."
Polygamy left its mark on the human genome
