| Description | In this book Konner traces the arc of evolution to explain the relationships between women and men. He explores the question of whether men are necessary in the biological destiny of the human race. He draws on multiple examples from the natural world and argues that maleness in humans is hardly necessary to the survival of the species.Konner sheds light on our biologically different identities, while noting the poignant exceptions that challenge the male/female divide. We meet hunter-gatherers such as those in Botswana, whose culture gave women a prominent place, invented the working mother, and respected women’s voices around the fire. Recent human history has upset this balance, as a dense world of war fostered extreme male dominance. But our species has been recovering over the past two centuries, and an unstoppable move toward equality is afoot. It will not be the end of men, but it will be the end of male supremacy and a better, wiser world for women and men alike. |
