In the past, revolutionary changes in the family have been effected by basic inventions and discoveries in the means of production, notably by the domestication of plants and animals and the Industrial Revolution. The effect on the biological functions of the family has been indirect, the result of the changed economic functions of the family. In the near future the biological functions of the family may be affected directly by important discoveries in the rapidly developing field of the biology of sex and reproduction. This paper considers some of the anticipated lines of development and their probable implications for the family
