This also implies that the Nuclear Family is the "default," position of nature, which is plainly not so as the vast majority of human history was spent in communal and familial existence. It is very likely, though not verifiable, that before the Neolithic the norm was to not have a father figure as it is likely he would have died from accident or war.
This is, of course, not to suggest that we should emulate the Neolithic or Paleolithic as that would be plainly dumb. But it does underline that there are limitations to attempting to apply a seemingly natural solution to the modern world.
And, at the risk of sounding partisan, this is a trap that the liberal-left falls into far more than the right.
