Actually, your assumption is incorrect.
I do recall seeing references to matriarchy in various references,
over the years. This is called "memory". The next step in scientific
research is finding confirming or denying evidence.
I have found at least one piece of evidence. I continue to find more
information.
Interestingly enough, I started off on this thread agreeing that there
wasn't any evidence. Now, as I dig deeper, I have found some evidence
for a few such tribes. That to me is interesting.
But, I have a scientific background, which apparantly several people
here lack.
