It looks like it might be more a function of abilities...

...than anything else.

Could be ...

Interesting reading.

Though, I cannot help but reflect that God's apparent ideal for mankind ... was what He setup in the Garden of Eden (i.e. one man ... one woman).

Polygamy only occurred ... after the fall.

It is clear that God allowed it (as God allows many other such things in our fallen world) ... though, of course, He never held it up as any kind of model to follow.

BTW ... further study in Genesis (4-6) shows that polygamous Lamech ... was not Noah's father.

There are (2) Lamech's whose lives are cited in those passages of Genesis ... one of the line of Cain (polygamous Lamech) ... and the other of the line of Seth (the father of Noah).

Polygamous Lamech's children are listed as sons Jubal, Jabal, Tubal... and a daughter Naamah. His life summary occurs in Genesis 4:16-24.

Noah's father Lamech's life summary occurs in Genesis 5:25-31.
