But the thing to remember is that Europe, the Near East and East Asia have been civilized for a long time (~5000 years continuously in the case of China). Being important, at least enough to raise a brood, didn't depend on being "big tough guy" as much as it did for hunter-gatherer, and to a less extent, pastoral societies. Brains become more important. Hence that's why these groups became less masculine.One of the people at Siggy's was claiming that the earlier a particular group developed settled agricultural civilization, the better off it is today. My response: stable agricultural civilization first arose in the Middle East. How'd that work out for them? My blog |
