Hi upgrade(41). I don't see a near extinction. Not having been there and never having read a book on the subject I had to take a look at my filtered access to the Akashic record and that is what I saw. Mythology and some archeological records report to us that very early on society was matriarchal. This era is clearly patriarchal. something did happen and what I wrote is my version. Remember what Mark Twain said; "history is a Mississippi of lies".
