Human monogamy and other "morals" are artificial things we placed onto ourselves (or many believe God placed them on us, but that is another thread).
As a pure primal instinct to mate, animals in general will mate with as many others as they can to try and ensure their genes get passed on. True monogamy in the animal world is pretty rare.
So, to the question. Yes, humans should be monogamous. Not because it is what is right for the primal animal part of us, but because it is what is right for our society and our morality. That's what separates humans from other animals, the ability to discern right and wrong and suppress our animal instincts based on that morality.
There are lots of things that animals do that humans don't. Animals eat their own poo. Animals mate with multiple partners. Animals eat their young. Just because something is "natural" doesn't mean it is right or in the best interests of the species.
