The Syndyas1nian Family appeared in the lower sta

recognize among his numerous wives rs his prime
pal wife, led in time to the practice of pairing with the

Syndyasmian family evolved the Patrarchal Family,

that of her husband and at her marriage she forfeited
rights for which she received no equivalent and she
stood alone in the household of her husband Male SD

maternal bond and was powerful factor in lowering
the position Of women
Out Of the Patriarcha Family evolved the Monoga
mic Family of civilization.
