In many modern countries, people think of a family as a mother, a father and their children.
But this is not the only kind of the family group. In some parts of the world, a family group has
many other members. This kind of large family is called an "extended family" or a "joint family".
The joint family includes all living relatives on either the mother's or the father's side of the
family. It is made up of grandparents, parents, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, and cousins. They
live together in a large house or in huts built close together.
Early people probably lived in joint families. They had to be part of a large group in order to
survive. The members of the group helped each other hunt. They worked together to protect
themselves from dangerous animals and other enemies.
