RT Generic T1 The Nucleus of the Family and Industrial Capitalism A1 Allones Pérez, Carlos K1 Sociological theory K1 Nucleus of the Family K1 Capitalism K1 Linguistics K1 Erectus K1 Mother/son K1 Neurology K1 Sapiens K1 Ettore Majorana AB Due to the prolongation in the infancy of human offspring the females were required to devote all their attention to the rearing of offspring. This left the males, and only them, in charge of hunting. Such a division of social functions produced, over millions of years, a revolution in their respective biological systems. This created such differences that the 'Sapiens', in order to survive, had to put the rearing of the male child also under collective male control and had to create the systems of kinship, of which the family is nothing more than one particular variety.However, now, capitalism is going to break all this up. In the long term it is going to break up all the previous forms of heterosexual relationships and those for the rearing of children. Consequently, the human animal will have to face a political and linguistic crisis, an anthropological crisis which has no equivalent in its natural history.
