82:1.1 Notwithstanding the [[personality]] [[Difference|gulf]] between [[men]] and [[women]], the [[sex]] urge is sufficient to insure their coming [[together]] for the [[reproduction]] of the [[species]].

82:1.2 [[Sex]] interest and [[desire]] were not [[dominating]] [[passions]] in [[primitive]] peoples; they simply took them for granted. The entire [[reproductive]] [[experience]] was free from [[imaginative]] embellishment.

82:1.7 The [[mating]] [[instinct]] is one of the [[dominant]] [[physical]] driving [[forces]] of [[human beings]]; it is the one [[emotion]] which, in the [[guise]] of [[individual]] [[gratification]], effectively tricks [[selfish]] man into putting [[race]] welfare and [[perpetuation]] high above [[individual]] ease and [[personal]] [[freedom]] from [[responsibility]].

82:2.1 The [[story]] of the [[evolution]] of [[marriage]] is simply the [[history]] of [[sex]] [[control]] through the [[pressure]] of [[social]], [[religious]], and [[civil]] restrictions. [[Nature]] hardly [[recognizes]] [[individuals]]; it takes no cognizance of so-called [[morals]]; it is only and exclusively interested in the [[reproduction]] of the [[species]]. [[Nature]] compellingly insists on [[reproduction]] but indifferently leaves the consequential [[problems]] to be solved by [[society]], thus creating an ever-present and major [[problem]] for [[evolutionary]] [[mankind]]. This [[social]] [[conflict]] consists in the unending [[war]] between basic [[instincts]] and evolving [[ethics]].

82:2.2 Among the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_64 early races] there was little or no [[regulation]] of the [[relations]] of the sexes.

82:3.1 [[Marriage]] is the [[institutional]] [[response]] of the [[social]] [[organism]] to the ever-present [[biologic]] [[tension]] of man's unremitting urge to [[reproduction]]—self-propagation. [[Mating]] is [[universally]] [[natural]], and as [[society]] evolved from the [[simple]] to the [[complex]], there was a [[corresponding]] evolution of the [[mating]] [[mores]], the [[genesis]] of the marital institution. Wherever [[social]] [[evolution]] has progressed to the [[stage]] at which mores are generated, [[marriage]] will be found as an [[evolving]] [[institution]].

82:3.2 There always have been and always will be two distinct realms of [[marriage]]: the [[mores]], the [[laws]] regulating the external aspects of [[mating]], and the otherwise [[secret]] and [[personal]] relations of [[men]] and [[women]]. Always has the [[individual]] been rebellious against the [[sex]] regulations imposed by [[society]]; and this is the reason for this agelong [[sex]] [[problem]]: Self-maintenance is [[individual]] but is carried on by the [[group]]; self-perpetuation is [[social]] but is secured by [[individual]] impulse.[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_69#69:1._BASIC_HUMAN_INSTITUTIONS]

82:3.3 The [[mores]], when respected, have ample [[power]] to restrain and [[control]] the [[sex]] urge, as has been shown among all races. [[Marriage]] [[standards]] have always been a true indicator of the current [[power]] of the [[mores]] and the functional [[integrity]] of the civil [[government]]. But the early [[sex]] and [[mating]] mores were a mass of inconsistent and crude regulations. [[Parents]], [[children]], relatives, and [[society]] all had [[conflict]]ing interests in the [[marriage]] regulations. But in spite of all this, those races which exalted and practiced marriage naturally evolved to higher [[levels]] and [[survived]] in increased numbers.

82:5.5 The first move away from brother and sister marriages came about under the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygamy plural-wife] [[mores]] because the sister-wife would arrogantly [[dominate]] the other wife or wives. Some tribal mores forbade [[marriage]] to a dead brother's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widow widow] but required the living brother to beget children for his departed brother. There is no [[biologic]] [[instinct]] against any [[degree]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inbreeding in-marriage]; such restrictions are wholly a matter of [[taboo]].

82:5.7 Many [[tribes]] finally forbade [[marriages]] within the [[clan]]; others limited [[mating]] to certain [[castes]]. The [[taboo]] against marriage with a [[woman]] of one's own [[totem]] gave impetus to the [[custom]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theft stealing] women from [[neighboring]] tribes. Later on, marriages were regulated more in [[accordance]] with territorial residence than with kinship.

82:6.9 The [http://www.infoplease.com/spot/pitcairn.html#axzz0xI9adVIl Pitcairn experiment] of blending the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_80#80:9._THE_THREE_WHITE_RACES white] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynesia Polynesian races] turned out fairly well because the white men and the Polynesian women were of fairly good racial strains. Interbreeding between the highest types of the white, red, and yellow races would [[immediately]] bring into [[existence]] many new and [[biologically]] [[effective]] characteristics. These three peoples belong to the primary [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_64#64:6._THE_SIX_SANGIK_RACES_OF_URANTIA Sangik races]. Mixtures of the white and black races are not so desirable in their [[immediate]] results, neither are such [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulatto mulatto] [[offspring]] so objectionable as [[social]] and racial [[prejudice]] would seek to make them appear. [[Physically]], such white-black [[hybrids]] are excellent specimens of [[humanity]], notwithstanding their slight inferiority in some other respects.
    
82:6.10 When a primary Sangik race [[amalgamates]] with a secondary Sangik race, the latter is considerably improved at the expense of the former. And on a small [[scale]]—extending over long periods of time—there can be little serious objection to such a [[sacrificial]] contribution by the primary races to the betterment of the secondary groups. [[Biologically]] considered, the secondary Sangiks were in some respects superior to the primary races.
