I believe we were a matriarchal society, where women appraise men, and choose a partner who would provide the best genetics for their children's survival. In addition to breeding, the men would also have been hunters and protectors, usually just outside the village in roaming groups, whilst the women lived inside the village together raising children, animals and either primitive farming or gathering, preparing food, socialising, educating, and developing high level social and communication skills. This is exactly why I think women are attracted to traditional roles, thinking they want to be a housewife but actually their real desire is to be surrounded by women, children and animals, and doing domestic work as collaborators, without the oppression of men, which characterises traditional roles now. It also would have offered them safety, being separated from the men who are naturally predatory when idle. Men too, prefer the company of men, 'going out with the boys' as they would have, hunting, fighting, and just coming back periodically to mate with either one or several partners. Women were always nurturers, educators, collaborators, healers, gatherers, artists. Men were always hunters, warmongers, athletes, builders, travellers, competitors. And they certainly didnt belong together.
