Hunter-Gatherer Anthropology: In Advanced Idea Mechanics
postulation, hunters (male) protect the family, hunt for food,
and obey the “be fruitful and multiply” commandment, eliminating
the possibility for pair-bonded marital relationships; the tendency is
for the male to take many mates for this purpose, and fidelity was
not a factor. Gatherers (female) attract the male, set up the
bonded relationship, organize the home, nurture the children, and
actually gathered the crops and sheaves for feeding the family in
concert with the hunting activities of the male.
Gatherer females might have had multiple partners, as their desire
was also for mating—but the tendency in the much more civilized
gatherers was to have a mate in pair-bonded singularity....
