This book examines prehistoric period cultures that appear to have operated in more of a partnership society instead of a dominance society. When it comes to these earlier periods, it leaves much to inference and conjecture based on limited archeological evidence available; but the study has proven fascinating and provided much to give pause and mull over.

RJHowe Interesting work, right up there with Murray‘s work. Lots of scholarship since then, but a good starting point. 6y
