Imagine the pressure Arundhati Roy must be under in trying to follow everything she’s done up with another novel!
About female hunters
The thing that always surprises me with this kind of “science” is how willing people are to extrapolate simian behaviour to humans, whereas it is a well-known fact different species of big apes have different “cultures”.
The same thing is true for “polically correct” human cultures that e.g. had female gods at the pinnacle of their pantheon and/or female chiefs and/or apparently recognized more than two genders and generally did all kind of other things that leftist scientists approve of. The only problem is, these cultures do not seem to have been very successful and more often than not seem to be evolutionnary dead-ends. Of course, it remains to be seen if our culture, which has turned its back on “patriarchy” and other assorted evil of the past will prove more resilient.
