Why are men in charge? Who invented Patriarchy?
Was it chest-thumping primate ancestors? Was it spear-wielding hunter gatherers? Was it at dawn of agriculture and the creation of property? Or was it something more subtle?

Edited by Tom Delargy, Produced by Freddy Chick, Senior Producer is Charlotte Long
