So at least we can work based on that
so you can estimate whats in store for usa
the thing is, i was half joking before, but the coldness has probably always been there
people did not move as far away from each other back in the day
a map of single motherhood in the world would be interesting right now
or get as disconnected due to limited economic opportunity
part of it was the colonial factor
in North America we had a large land area to colonize
so they stayed together more out of necessity and because it was easier
north west of france eh,make sense
that in part drove the nuclear family
a new generation would move west and settle
when it became possible to separate geographically and economically, the familial bonds that were previously necessitated broke apart
people had to live closer together
they needed each other
and it was harder to move
and less reason to move because less free economy and less opportunity
and harder transportation
they didn't live together
hmm
in fact, it shows they did not
if you read it
what research is this even based on
People in the colonial territories were faced with mass hostility from foreign peoples at every turn in the form of the natives and also suffered severe resource and labour scarcities which most likely would have emphasised the importance of the extended family unit, rather than diminished it
the point is, what do you think changed?
clearly the material circumstances
you're not understanding what I'm saying
do you think they became genetically less family oriented?
you wouldn't move with your father to the west
what are you trying to say?
absolute nuclear family never was a thing historically
Yes I am, I just think you overestimate the frequency of it's happening
you would go with your wife, and children if you had them
peopel all work on a farm
Family units migrated together generally, not in parts
and live together
no, old people were not moving west
family unit yes
"evolutionary behavior" is not at all clear
