The Evolution of the Means of Production and Reproduction according to Debora Spar

This text provides a profound analysis of the evolution of social structures, based on the concepts of Deborah Spar. The author traces the historical path from the Neolithic Revolution, where the plow defined patriarchy, through the Industrial Revolution, to the present day, dominated by digital and medical technologies. The article demonstrates how the contraceptive pill, assisted reproductive technologies (ART), and platforms like Tinder are fundamentally changing the marriage market and traditional definitions of parenthood. The shift from biological determinism to intentional parenting and the dematerialization of relationships in the age of algorithms poses new ethical and legal challenges for modern society. This synthetic look at how technology is continually redefining notions of masculinity, femininity, and the foundations of the modern nuclear family.
