This week on patrion slash adam conover, let's talk about men that rule. Throughout most of human history, men have literally ruled the earth. Why do we live under a patriarchy? We're going to be discussing annely newi's for lost cities with annely selves. And our first installment is coming up this sunday.
Around the world and for most of history, human societies have been dominated by men. Why? Professor and author of the forthcoming “The Great Gender Divergence”, Dr. Alice Evans, joins Adam to explain how male governance springs from systems of inheritance, why matrilineal systems tend to convert to patrilineal ones, and why we’re seeing progress on gender equality around the world.
