You have a point there.
These days you don't have to protect your family from wild beasts, and parents usually keep their kids at home until an older age, so there's really no reason to do that.
Tell that to our DNA

But yeah, sure. Today those programs serve no purpose, but they are still there even though totally unnecessary. Like the appendix, and the politicans.
@Liz - Definitely. Life expectancy was very low back then. Few got as old as 30 even which means the younger a girl can be and still have a child, the more likely it is for her to have more children before she dies.
