You grow up with them, spend much of your life surrounded by them, and sometimes even create your own. Yet the psychological influence of family is far less studied that that of non-kin. We tackle four questions here: How do people identify kin? Do people prioritize goals of caring for kin? What happens when you live around many kin? What happens when historical events change kin relations?
