(8,217 posts)Meaning, I would probably head back towards the Bonobos.
They are a more female oriented tribe of monkeys.
Then, after trying to figure out what are their motivations.
Which is then placed upon love, sex, sharing and keeping peace through less violent interactions. Then, I would probably move it forwards from there, and figure out the motivations once a society and technology improves.
For one, I would think the motivations of the society would be a much healthier one.
Namely, it would probably be more towards inclusion, infrastructure and health.
As long as it is done in a mutually respecting manner, I think it might be alright.
However, please note, that such societies were taken over by more war-like tribes. It could last for a while, but I am not really sure it is sustainable.
I remember in looking at certain older cultures before they were taken over by Rome, their basis of inheritance is through the mother. That is because, one can actually trace their lineage through their mothers better than their fathers. It is a more accurate way of tracing genealogy.
Any way, I think I lost myself somewhere in my post, as I rambled on trying to think on how it could be.
