Opis

The female dominant model of human evolution raises the question of who evolved first- the male or the female. The original fossils of human species are predominantly female and the male fossils evolved after billions of years. The original human species would have been a cluster of female bipedals in swampy waters feeding on tubers of water lilies and lotus as well as fish, mussels and shell fish. The watery origin of bipedalism and human species points to a dominant role for woman in human evolution. The body anatomy of the females with pendular mammary glands and rounded glutei are for floating and buoyancy and not for sexual attraction. This produces a gynocentric approach to evolution as against an androcentric approach. Evolution was basically meant for protection and rearing of children. Humans have evolved in swamps, backwaters and sea and are not biologically or socially inferior to men. The women can reproduce by parthenogenesis like lower animals. Therefore it is natural for the female of the species to evolve first. This is the basis of Dravidian matriarchy and the world of Mother Goddess.
