Humans (for the most part) are certainly capable of selecting for themselves with whom they breed
So are you suggesting, as the eugenics movement did, that humans should select breeding partners based on social desirability of offspring, rather than on love and commitment to each other? If I remember correctly, the eugenicists advocated for each woman producing at least 6 children so as to maximize the likelihood of successful combinations of desired traits in offspring. Monogamy would actually be a hindrance to such a program, of course.
