A Shameful Tale
If you put together the speculations of
the previous three posts, then you get a truly shameful tale of human
prehistory, as follows:
In
the old days, Big Men had harems, and all other men were losers. The only hope
the loser men had was to slay some Big Man, kill his children, and then rape
the women. Of course the women detested this lion-like system, but those
compliant to it reproduced more than those resistant to it, which left a
genetic trace that our species bears to this very day; as proven by our
adulation of killers and tyrants.
One
day a loser man discovered a marvelous magic trick. Simply share spoiled fruit
juice with an otherwise resistant woman. She will lose control before he loses
potency. This trick spread. Women easily made drunk reproduced more; a genetic
trace that our species bears to this very day. The same evolutionary pressures
that created violent men and submissive women, then started to create devious
men and drunken women. In other words, rape started to shift from force to
fraud.
Eventually
someone figured out the brewing of beer. It requires settled colonies and the
hard labor of farming; an indignity that men were willing to suffer, for the
sake of a magic sex potion.
Big Men dominated these
colonies, but soon were outnumbered, and they were forced by political necessity
to institute sexual socialism; share and share alike. The losers won… it seems.
It’s fraudulent of course; Big Men still gather harems whenever possible.
Civilization is full of
fraud, for it is based upon fraud; a genetic trace that we bear to this very
day.
