[QUOTE]Originally posted by DD'eDeN: [QB] Study shows that modern hunter-gatherer tribes operate on egalitarian basis, suggesting inequality was an aberration that came with the advent of agriculture http://www.theguardian.com/science/2015/may/14/early-men-women-equal-scientists#comment-52209638 Our prehistoric forebears are often portrayed as spear-wielding savages, but the earliest human societies are likely to have been founded on enlightened egalitarian principles, according to scientists. A study has shown that in contemporary hunter-gatherer tribes, men and women tend to have equal influence on where their group lives and who they live with. The findings challenge the idea that sexual equality is a recent invention, suggesting that it has been the norm for humans for most of our evolutionary history. Mark Dyble, an anthropologist who led the study at University College London, said: “There is still this wider perception that hunter-gatherers are more macho or male-dominated. We’d argue it was only with the emergence of agriculture, when people could start to accumulate resources, that inequality emerged.” - - Yes. Agriculture changed the game, males stored-defended community grain for next season's seed not allowing anyone to eat it. Before this, yams were gardened, with chunks replanted immediately to regrow, so females always had shared power, being the food gatherers/storers. [/QB][/QUOTE]
