one of my beliefs is that in learning how to deal with each other in a collaborative way, humans learn how to deal with the planet in a collaborative way. dominance is not required or rewarded in this new paradigm, but ingenuity is.
We have not used our brains to evolve enough since the cave man days. Sorry about the man part but I think it is part and parcel of your comments. Back then it was totally survival of the fittest and you have to admit man is stronger than women. We are gifted to have the most intelligence of any being on earth or at least that is what we are told. We are not utilizing that gift to all its benefit when we allow ourselves to accept the alpha trait as being the be all end all. That would appear to be accepting a concept we should not accept if we want to all get along and avoid wars etc.
