Genetically speaking polygamy is like peeing in your own gene pool.

Huh?

Because you are spreading YOUR genes further?

I thought that having LESS of a selection is what is supposed to be bad for evolution...

Not exactly, it's because you are spreading your multiple genes into a confined area increasing the odds of inbreeding.

Take a not so hypothetical, a man has 4 children with 4 women. What are the odds of half siblings mating, especially if the children don't know their father?

A few more generations and the odds get really bad.
