 ct?</li>\n<li>Is the nuclear family universal? Does a Navaho child have 
 just one mother - or many?</li>\n<li>The lifestyle of Native American lo

 es hold lessons for humanity today?</li>\n<li>Why do women in Amazonia b
 elieve that sleeping with multiple partners helps ensure a successful pr
 egnancy?</li>\n<li>Is biology woman's destiny? Is the human male a "nake
 d ape"?</li>\n<li>Are traditional healing techniques effective? Why do m
