Women who have lits and lits of children would have daughters who were also fertile. And if they had a brother or two who made an income like a man (hunting, farming, a trade) but did not have a family of their own, they could help their sisters and their aister's kuds. Sure enough they went to Samoa to test it out on Samoan culture and sure enough a gay man who had a small business was paying for the school fees of his nieces and nephews from his sister.

Same thing with grandmothers in a quebec study. Records of families go back 400 years and families that had grandmothers who lived long had more surviving descendants.

We used to be communities before Ayn Rand destroyed it all.
