I am thinking the Jews stole their ideas from the Sumerians 4000 years ago. Mitochondrial eve predates that time by a few years but I thought I saw her likeness in a post by LC on her birthday thread. Science has her at 200,000 years ago. When I think about "society and civilization" I credit the female with its origins. Man left the group and wandered and hunted. Women kept the family and later the clan. Matriarchal societies are natural to human development.
