Greetings,
all interesting indeed. However i do have a bit of a question...
You characterise hunter gatherer society as being essentially patrilineal and agrarian society as being matrilineal. My overstanding is the opposite, that it was some hunter gatherer societies that were in fact matriarchal and the shift towards sedentary agriculture that produced the social shifts that resulted in patriarchy via the capacity to store resources and the subsequent production of social heirarchy.
but hey, I ve been wrong about stuff before...
love and life
paul
