  "War led to the institution of slavery, especially for the women of the defeated side (defeated males were usually slaughtered) and stamped the entire female gender with the stigma attached to concubines and domestic servants. Men did better, or at least a few of them, with the most outstanding commanders rising to the status of kings and eventually emperors." Yes, other than being parenthetically slaughtered, men did great. I enjoyed imagining Bill Burr tackling this bit.

  Somehow the author manages to squeeze his exaggerated opinions about Trump and global warming to an article about ancient cave art. Why do they keep doing this?

    > War, Fascism, concentration camps, rubber truncheons, atomic bombs, etc., are what we daily think about, and therefore to a great extent what we write about, even when we do not name them openly. We cannot help this. When you are on a sinking ship, your thoughts will be about sinking ships. -- George Orwell
