What you said is that it wasn't such a "nice" society as I portrayed it to be because 23 people got smacked in the head. - even though the point of what I said was to indicate "civilization" and not "niceness." There was no mention of this meta-analysis that you've now linked - which says many of the same things that I also already noted, by the way.

"What Çatalhöyük may show is that such a society only works with strong homogeneity. For many generations, it was very unacceptable for individual households to accumulate [wealth]. Once they started to do so, there is evidence that more problems started to arise.”

World history is a complex and nuanced thing. There's very rarely only one thing going on in any given dynamic, as I have often noted. Wealth inequality emerged over time for a variety of reasons, including the agricultural revolution and the Kurgan invasion. Both of those play a part, and I already spoke to the interplay of those in other places. None of that disproves the Kurgan and Hebrew invasions and pretending that it does is just the sort of sloppy, pot-shot kind of "debate" that I have unfortunately come to expect from a man like you.

Your link doesn't call into question anything other than why I continue to bother to even try to talk to you.

Edit: In addition, wealth disparity is only one part of patriarchy. To what do you attribute the rise of authoritarianism, social hierarchy maintained by violence, male dominance and other well-documented facets of patriarchal dominance hierarchies if not related to the Kurgan/Hebrew invasions?
