Excerpted from the third article of William Pierce’s “Who We Are: a Series of Articles on the History of the White Race”:
Since the use of [Paleolithic] tools required a larger brain than before, and since the birth canal had become smaller, infants had to be born in a premature state, with a relatively long period of postnatal development and growth ahead of them. This meant a long period of incapacitation for mothers, while they nursed and cared for their helpless young. And this in turn required a prolonged dependence of the female on the male.
Thus, stable male-female pairing, with the male taking the role of hunter-provider and the female the role of mother-nurse, became established in our evolutionary line hundreds of thousands of generations ago. It is what is natural for our race, in that a predisposition for it is born with us. The foolish liberals who see it as the “oppression” of women and imagine that they can abolish it with a few acts of Congress or a Constitutional amendment have not the faintest understanding of what they are tampering with.
One reply on “Origin of the Family”
Yes, the key to understanding male-female differences lies in the “prolonged dependence of the female (and her children) on the male,” and the “long period of postnatal development and growth ahead of them.” In general every differential trait that we see can be predicted given that.
