This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

As an aside on that kind of tribalism.
There is a valley on Africa where scientists have discovered the remains of multiple neolithic tribes inhabiting it long term in caves. The men all have markers indicating that they grew up in the valley.
All of the adult women do not.
Pretty cool to see cultural anti-incest policies in action.
Less cool that the women are, obviously, the ones expected to leave their homes.
I always think about these things when people act like primitivism is some coherent ideology to increase equality.
There's also the implication that they send the native women away
Yes. Notably, it seems like the same behaviours exist in Bonobos and in Chimpanzees.
In bonobos it is the young males that leave/are exiled from the group, and in Chimpanzees it is the young females.
