The agricultural revolution is why you're an incel

Over the past few days I've been binging on documentaries about a South American Hunter-Gatherer ethnic group called the Yanomamo (sometimes called the Yanomami depending on the dialect).

Scientists love talking about the Yanomami since it gives them the opportunity to understand how humans lived before agriculture.

Here's some interesting deductions from the documentaries I've watched.

• The Yanomamo are highly egalitarian due to the fact that they live in a scarce environment. Scarcity seems to act as an equilibrium sustainability mechanism for the environment.
• The Yanomamo actually practice a form horticulture where they burn down parts of the jungle and use the ash as fertiliser and plant various crops such as yams whilst the men go out into the jungle and hunt.
• Yanomamo villages are filled with close relatives meaning that you would live with 1st, 2nd and 3rd cousins as well as your immediate family. This seems to greatly increase cooperation since helping others in your tribe helps pass on your genes.
• Beyond 2nd cousin marriage seems to be acceptable. However most marriage is done by swapping women from other villages into your tribe and marrying them.
• Marriage is decided by a chief however power structures seem to be very flat in these societies.
• They're also cannibals that drink the ashes of their deceased family members mixed in with a soup.
• They seem to get into a lot of conflicts with their neighbouring tribes.
• Polygamy is extremely limited in these societies due to the scarcity. Also men are much more likely to cooperate with sharing wives since they have a lot of genetic similarity.

This is pretty much how humans lived until the invention of agriculture which increased societal inequality and hypergamy.

DNA suggests Cro-Magnon hunter gatherers were groups where a small number of males impregnated most of the females. At least I read that in a few articles.

Interesting. Weren't they the first expansionists? If so it makes sense that raping and raiding other communities was seen as a right of passage.

They called hunter gatherer society “primitive communism” for a reason.

Yeah just generalize some isolated group of people to the entirety of human population who lived 10,000 years ago.
