I think of the first human women who alone faced the hurdle of increasing maternal mortality due to increased brain size and changed their biology bringing menses and menopause into existence and making us human. Due to menopause elderly women lived much longer than men and as crones or wise women created human culture, passing on knowledge from one generation to another for 180,000 plus years prior to writing. From them we moved from biological evolution to cultural evolution being most important. Twelve thousand years ago when a comet hit North America the die out of the mega fauna began and a way of hunting and killing. Faced with a new challenge the Divine Feminine inspired women to extend to plants the love women had nurtured their families and created agriculture 10,000 years ago. Then about 8,000 years ago the Divine Feminine inspired women to extend this love to animals creating a source of meat that made big hunting unnecessary. The removal of the heroic path in service of women to provide red meat for women who otherwise had iron deficiency anemia resulted in the creation of patriarchy and war, a new path for heroes. Now we must return to heroism in service to the Divine Feminine. love and light, Stuart http://stuartmarkberlin.com, http://heroinherservice.blogspot.com I too am fascinated by the moments in time when humanity had to make evolutionary leaps in order to survive.
