    Nuclear families are not natural. Humans are a communal species by nature. The saying is "It takes a village" for a reason.

      I agree with you, but I don’t believe humans have any “Natural” way to organize family groups.

      We’re adaptable to almost anything, and tried all types of grouping.

        Doesn’t that make nuclear families just as valid as any family structure?

          Nuclear Family can be much more diverse than what we see currently. For example Communal, and Nuclear can freely switch between each other.

            They usually do. I can’t think anyone I know that has a literal nuclear family.

            Even the name nuclear family is manufactured. People don’t actually fit in neat boxes like that.
