84:7.8 But the [[home]] as an [[institution]], a partnership between one man and one woman, dates more specifically from the days of [[Dalamatia]], about [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleistocene one-half million years ago], the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monogamy monogamous] [[practices]] of [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_63#PAPER_63:_THE_FIRST_HUMAN_FAMILY Andon] and his immediate [[descendants]] having been abandoned long before.

84:7.9 The early [[family]] [[embraced]] a related working [[group]], including the [[slaves]], all living in one dwelling. [[Marriage]] and [[family]] life have not always been identical but have of [[necessity]] been closely [[associated]]. [[Woman]] always wanted the [[individual]] [[family]], and [[eventually]] she had her way.

84:7.10 [[Love]] of [[offspring]] is almost [[universal]] and is of distinct [[survival]] [[value]]. The [[ancients]] always [[sacrificed]] the [[mother]]'s interests for the welfare of the [[child]]; an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eskimo Eskimo] [[mother]] even yet licks her baby in lieu of washing. But [[primitive]] [[mothers]] only nourished and cared for their [[children]] when very young; like the [[animals]], they discarded them as soon as they grew up. Enduring and [[continuous]] [[human]] [[associations]] have never been founded on [[biologic]] [[affection]] alone. The [[animals]] love their [[children]]; man—civilized man—loves his children's children. The higher the [[civilization]], the greater the [[joy]] of [[parents]] in the [[children]]'s advancement and success; thus the new and higher [[realization]] of [[name]] [[pride]] comes into [[existence]].

84:7.20 Among [[ancient]] [[savages]], [[discipline]] of [[children]] was begun very early; and the child early [[realized]] that disobedience meant failure or even [[death]] just as it did to the [[animals]]. It is [[civilization]]'s [[protection]] of the [[child]] from the [[natural]] consequences of foolish conduct that [[contributes]] so much to [[modern]] insubordination.

84:7.21 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eskimo Eskimo] [[children]] thrive on so little [[discipline]] and correction simply because they are [[naturally]] docile little [[animals]]; the children of both the red and the yellow men are almost equally tractable.
