[[History]] of heterosexual [[symbolism]] dates back to the earliest [[artifacts]] of [[humanity]], which included [[ritual]] [[fertility]] carvings and primitive rock art. This was later expressed in the symbolism of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fertility_rites fertility rites] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polytheism#Historical_polytheism polytheistic worship], which often included images of human reproductive organs. The [[modern]] [[symbols]] of heterosexuality in the [[societies]] derived from Europe are still referenced to the symbols used in these [[ancient]] [[beliefs]], with the image in this section being a combination of the symbol for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_(mythology) Mars] as the definitive [[male]] stereotype of a [[warrior]], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus_(mythology) Venus], the Roman goddess of [[love]].

Marriage—[[mating]]—grows out of [[bisexuality]]. Marriage is man's reactional [[adjustment]] to such bisexuality, while the [[family]] life is the sum [[total]] resulting from all such [[evolutionary]] and adaptative [[adjustments]]. Marriage is [[enduring]]; it is not [[inherent]] in [[biologic]] [[evolution]], but it is the basis of all [[social]] [[evolution]] and is therefore certain of continued [[existence]] in some [[form]]. Marriage has given [[mankind]] the [[home]], and the home is the crowning [[glory]] of the whole long and arduous [[evolutionary]] [[struggle]].[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=82:0_The_Evolution_of_Marriage]
