>EEF societies were matriarchialMaybe a bit too much of Gimbutas' ideas here, I don't think they were truly "matriarchal" but sure more effeminate, more docile. Consider that sessile lifestyle allows for a quicker reproductive cycle (nomads have to carry their children around and have often less food/energy available), pushing a population towards more fertility, more estrogen ... and the female testosterone/estrogen axis has quite extreme intrauterine effects on the brain of a developing fetus.
