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
your link doesn't show that they lived in the same house
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
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
but how large of a family unit
The average life span wasn't that high even lol
one brother stayed in the original territory
Usually was not the case
life span stats are misleading, they include a lot of infant and childhood mortality
especially when you drastically cahnged the environment, then "evolutionary behavior" doesn't help much to predict what happens
well you mean amalgamation of families basicaly handrubbing,yeah for sure
we need a Chinese/Japanese clan system
if you made it to 22 you would be likely to live quite a long time
My entire family spent the last thousand years of their history living on just three islands
what may have evolved will no longer be beneficial in a drastically different environment
you're in the East, aren't you?
cuck island?
