In a coherent society, it makes sense to act in concert where there is near-unanimity.quote:
Everyone's doing it so why not? Is that your moral compass Hank?
Cannibalism was entirely moral and ethical in Polynesian societies. Polygyny is currently moral/ethical to about a billion people.

If we accept your premise and credit "Society" as the precursor or arbiter of "Morals/Ethics" in this case, if we follow this thread of rationale to its logical onset ("Evolution"), from who or what would "Society" derives *its* inherent Morals/Ethics/Values to begin with?
Would you or others propose they "Evolved" during some kind of DNA sequencing Event of Sentience over the ages at some point in time?

What is your point?
First, I'd challenge the veracity of "Polygyny" as an "moral/ethical" standard of behavior -- even IF practiced by a "billion" people.
The Mayan were said to have routinely sacrificed their children and yet others to their "god" -- while also tearing their still beating hearts out of their chest.
Shoving millions into Cattle Cars then into "showers" to die -- or machine gunning people into ditches/graves was also A-OK as per Nazi Culture.
Other historic cultures also believe it is/was morally/ethically acceptable marry child-brides as of Age 3 or use them OR beasts for adult sexual gratification.
Moloch was the infamous "god of child sacrifice".
Because a practice may be "acceptable" in one particular society hardly makes it relatively "moral" OR "ethical." It merely normalizes evil or barbaric behavior so routine it is deemed "acceptable" to people who've rejected and perverted their inherent sense of Right and Wrong.
As an Agnostic/Atheist, your position is likely that which denies Divine Law inherently exists. Yet...you personally and inherently have a set of values that does indeed comport with Divine Law. (Do you believe one necessarily needs parents/mentors to "know" what is/was "good" OR bad" internally?)
