    A small village is a much larger settlement than most humans throughout history would have lived in (95%, at least). It seems like you've totally reversed your position on the ubiquity of gender.

    That 95% of history is undocumented though.

    Can you point to a culture larger than a village that has no gender?

      Are you saying that you believe that hunter-gatherers before the Neolithic Revolution lived in communities comprised of hundreds of people?

      No.

      Can you explain how communities larger than villages are relevant to my point, or better yet, quote where you believe I made this claim?

      I think I was saying small communities do not manifest strong gender differences even if they are there in populations only in a small way.

      If you agree they clearly emerge in larger populations then fine we agree.
