When you consider that sperm from different males actively compete, when in

Various studies show roughly 5% of children are raised by fathers
who don't know they aren't the biological father (varies by study
and by economic status within study so the 5% is only a rough
average). It seems our current population is as well.

Hunter gatherer societies don't have locking doors or any other
method for keeping women from having sex outside of marriage,
and it's clear from that 5% thing that that phase of hundreds of
thousands of years still dominates our evolution.

Don't the sperms from the same male compete, each tying to be the "seed"?

In same males it seems to be a horse race. With different males there is
actual combat between sperm, if I remember the PBS special correctly.

That's my understanding too, although from other sources than PBS: that
something like 90% of sperm aren't designed to fertilize eggs, but are
built for combat with foreign sperm. I don't know if it's the case with
all animals, or just humans. I just picked up the book "Sperm Wars,"
which I think gets into this in detail, but it's still in my to-read
pile.
