In the context of [[human]] [[society]], a '''family''' (from {{lang-la|familia}}) is a [[Social group|group]] of [[people]] related either by [[consanguinity]] (by recognized birth), [[Affinity (law)|affinity]] (by marriage or other relationship), or co-residence (as implied by the etymology of the English word "family") or some combination of these. Members of the immediate famiy may include spouses, parents, brothers, sisters, sons, and daughters. Members of the extended family may include grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews, nieces, and [[Sibling-in-law|siblings-in-law]]. Sometimes these are also considered members of the immediate family, depending on an individual's specific relationship with them.

In most societies, the family is the principal institution for the [[socialization]] of children. As the basic unit for raising children, [[Anthropologist|anthropologists]] generally classify most family organizations as [[Matrifocal family|matrifocal]] (a mother and her children); conjugal (a wife, her husband, and children, also called the [[nuclear family]]); [[avuncular]] (for example, a grandparent, a brother, his sister, and her children); or [[Extended family|extended]] (parents and children co-reside with other members of one parent's family). Sexual relations among the members are regulated by rules concerning [[incest]] such as the [[incest taboo]].
