Picture yourself in Stone Age Europe, a peaceful, matrifocal, agrarian society where women and men have equal status. In 4400 BCE, tribes from the Steppes invade the village with metal weapons and slay the men, rob the rich pickings, and take over the women. Marija Gimbutas found a divide in artifacts, to "Big Man" graves. Goddess symbols like the bee, the spiral, the snake, and the egg disappeared from the cooking pots. Everyone scoffed at her timeline until recent genetic evidence on the Y chromosome shows an abrupt change in the DNA of European males in 4400 BCE to a different progenitor. So now we can date the overthrow, and we can understand how it happened. But how do we reclaim our time of a peaceful, equal society?
