I'm not disputing that things used to be that way.Boudica said:You should Google some stuff. I'll start you off.Hagi said:If you define better as including subject matter without a scientific basis...Boudica said:Your biology textbooks didn't touch on the relationship between evolution and sociology and the related development of the human being?
I need to get you some better textbooks!
Then sure... get me 'better' textbooks...
In the meantime I'll stick to sciences which don't require time-machines to provide that basis.

But hey, if you can prove us all wrong, please do! I'd love to learn that the majority of human society didn't have men hunt and women tend nest.
I'm disputing that how things worked 200.000 years ago is how they still work today.
You're operating under the assumption that we haven't evolved at all over that time period. That we haven't changed as a species. That we still have cave-men brains. That what drove us in those days is still what drives us today.
And unless you can show me a cave-man brain that's identical in size and function to that of a contemporary human being I'm calling BS.
Cave-man society is about as relevant to our own society as Chimpanzee society is. Sure, there's a few similarities to be found. But they're simply so radically different on such a large scale that you can't just extrapolate from one to the other.
We aren't hunter-gatherers. Even if you took away all technology and the knowledge of it and gave us stone-age tools we wouldn't revert to that life-style. We'd immediately build settlements and start the technological climb again, because we evolved from our roots. We changed, that's how evolution works. It doesn't stop.
