Conversation between men and women has barely begun - Theodore Zeldin, Intimate History of Humanity, p29

Civilisation came through two things chiefly: the home, which developed those social dispositions that form the psychological cement of society; and agriculture, which took man from his wandering life as hunter, herder, and killer, and settled him long enough in one place to let him build homes, schools, churches, colleges, universities, civilisation. But it was woman who gave man agriculture and the home; she domesticated man as she had domesticated the sheep and the pig. Man is woman's last domestic animal, and perhaps he is the last creature that will be civilised by woman. The task is just begun. - Will Durant, 1885-1981
