Well, there went my morning. I've only read two of these so far and my head is so full I can hardly hold it up. Great stuff, thank you.

Wondering if you're going to get into "elite overproduction" and the de facto disinheriting of younger sons.

The male's-eye view of history (the male rearward gaze?) is a pretty bleak read for a woman. Takes you back to Lévi-Strauss's relegation of women to commodities exchanged, stolen, and fought over by men, as raw materials of reproduction, status, and labor. If humans are just fancy animals that use their cerebral cortex for new forms of dominance and self-propagation, why do we have to be conscious? How conscious are we?
