Many archaeologists have argued that women have long motivated cycles of violence and blood feuds throughout history but there has really been no solid archaeological evidence to support this view.

Indeed. The direct descendant of the hominids Homo Erectus and Homo Neanderthalensis is today's MooSlime male. This unique species shows this precise attitude towards its females.

Hey, at least you didn’t do what I did this week, and post an article that not only had been posted before, but I’d also just seen it (same week) and pinged it to the list. [blush]
