Episode notes

As long as women are excluded from government and religious hierarchies, then men can really amass greater advantage. So what i'm trying to say is it's a system that starts with wealth and stratification, but then we see cultural evolution,. Whether that's the rise of persian losions, et cetera. But it i that cultural evolution that occurs that keeps women trapped in their home. And mn of people either internalize these ideas that there's eternal damnation for stepping out of line, or it's not that they really believe it, but they might.

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.
