Any repetitive action can become part of people’s genes over time, but I feel the roadmap to claim the conduct of people is based on genetics is usually flawed.
I am of the view that as a result of how early Europeans lived in a harsher environment with survival dependant on hunting more so than gathering (collecting roots and vegetables etc.), a greater dependency was placed on males and brute strength. A male child would have been favoured to a female child.
In traditional hunter-gatherer societies Africans were used to both males and females contributing to feeding the family and community. Usually the females did the gathering and the males did the hunting.
This shifted in icy environments where gathering would have been at a minimal and the community depended primarily on hunting to survive. Hunting mostly big game and living in small groups under those conditions would have meant a shift in emphasis to brute strength and the dependence of males in feeding the family.
This may also be responsible for the shift from more balanced societies under female deities, to unbalanced societies under male deities.
There is more to be said on this. When whites present their own theories of their history on this board and are prepared to debate it, I may share some other ideas I have on this topic.
