Culture Differences

For example, Keesing's observations ("Cultural Anthropology", 1976) on the Lakker of Burma illustrate this point in comparison with a society such as our own.

"The Lakker do not see children as having any blood relationship to the mother. The mother is only a container in which the child grows. Children of the same mother and different fathers are not considered to be related to each other and sexual relationships between them are not considered incest".
