MonkRome@lemmy.world 16 hours agoI thought neanderthal males were thought to be a lot less aggressive than homo sapiens (possibly even the reason for their extinction)? Even though I suspect you could be right. I think it’s possibly a mistake to apply how we are today to how our relatives were 40,000+ years ago. Also they might not have a comparable concept of rape if you go back far enough. So the person trama, cultural implications, and psychological impact are possibly hard to analyze from a modern lense.

Sex doesn’t look very consensual for like 99.9% of other species…
Fairly certain even the idea of consent is part of what makes us human.

1: Neanderthals are also humans for the purpose you’re discussing, the results of higher cognitive functions. The label is actually applied to all hominins by anthropologists (note the nin and not nid)
2: A lot of tribal cultures have historically had more female autonomy than women in industrialized or preindustrial cultures. There’s a lot of discussion about why that is exactly but this image of women as caveman chattel is just a lie
