Archaeological and archaeogenetic analyses of Bronze Age cemeteries in the Lech Valley, near Augsburg, show that families of biologically related persons with higher status lived together with unrelated women who came from afar and also had a high status..

By their bling shall ye know them.

So the rich guys had lots of women.

Some things never change.

So maybe my German ancestors weren’t buried with a lot of money and jewels.

So what?

My ancestors were extremely good looking.

And the rich women liked my male ancestors.

The castle guards had standing orders to not let any of my male ancestors into the castle.

So my ancestors would wait until the castle guards sat down, and then they would sneak into the castle and play “Find The Jewels” with the ladies.

I believe that trade goods back in the bronze and iron age included women. They may have been slaves or daughters of high status leaders who offered them to arrange future trading deals. Horse trading took on a very different twist.

Which means their social structures were stable.

There always has been,and always will be,people who are smarter than average.

And people who are dumber than average

There always has been,and always will be,people who work harder than average.

And those who are lazier than average.

Archaeology -- Social inequality in Bronze Age households,

Criminy atley! The first man who came out of a cave, climbed a tree, or came down out of the trees displayed the first example of social inequality. It's called taking the initiative and creating their own success.

This is revisionism to "nth degree" and should be flushed down the scupper.
