From a recent research note that the women go away from their birthplace far more often than men who are surprisingly more diligent around the home and relatives.
Sandi Copeland, paleoanthropologist from the University of Colorado, United States, along with an international research team analyzed 19 teeth from two species of early humans that Australopithecus africanus and Paranthropus robustus. Two species of early humans is close to our direct ancestors namely Australopithecine.
"From the research, found preliminary evidence that describe the pattern of spread among humans earlier," Copeland said, as quoted by Science Now, June 27, 2011.
The findings reported in the journal Nature indicates that patrilocal groups, where young families generally live in or near the residence of parents of the male partner, is a habit that has prevailed since ancient times.
Today, Copeland and his team did not yet know the reasons why men than women seldom go far in the area that there is no natural barriers. To that end, he and his team will find out whether the same pattern applies to the australopithecines in other regions in Africa to find out whether it is a way of managing their tribe.
However, according to Peter Ungar, paleoanthropologists from the University of Arkansas, Copeland and his team managed to find innovative ways to test the research model. "In the process, they develop early evidence of how early Manisa organize their groups," he said.
