Unsure what you mean . Didn't say anything about (reproduction|eusociality)
You saying family abolition's necessary for eusociality ? Or you're sayin family's necessary for eusociality ?
The first! I was thinking it would likely lead to an evolutionary period of transition from a pack to a hive biological paradigm, regardless of centralized reproduction taking place or not.
The way we see intelligent multicellular organisms collaborating in large numbers we can see a lot of in nature, but few of those cases are in states of balance as stable and effective as eusociality.
Was referring to family as in the (construct|institution) , never though much the evolutionary implications
Yeah, that's what I figured! I just like extrapolating and thinking of the further downs.
At this point I honestly believe human eusociality is inevitable on the long run, even with several near-extinction events.
