About this episode
For far too long, women have been seen as secondary to men under the patriarchal rule of human society.
Yet, humanity’s existence has been a minor blip in the history of the Earth, where females are the dominant sex of many species.
The differences between men and women are far greater culturally than biologically.
In animals like the noolbenger/honey possum, females are highly promiscuous, forcing males to evolve some impressive anatomical changes.
