Why are men in charge? Who invented Patriarchy? Was it chest-thumping primate ancestors? Was it spear-wielding hunter gatherers? Was it at dawn of agriculture and the creation of property? Or was it something more subtle? These are the questions that Angela Saini has set out to answer in her new book The Patriarchs: How Men Came to Rule. She and Dallas talk through the mother of all origin stories. Edited by Tom Delargy, Produced by Freddy Chick, Senior Producer is Charlotte Long Get 50% off your first 3 months with code PATENTED.
