During the period 1500-1800, there were massive changes in world social and cultural systems, and the family unit as we recognize it today came into being.

Counter-trends toward greater freedom and equality (the recognition that coercion has limits) yield the ""Closed Domesticated Nuclear Family"" (1640-1800), increasingly egalitarian and affectionate, increasingly withdrawn from interests of kin and community.
