Paleolithic people more Egalitarian?

Paleolithic people were more egalitarian than later people. We can see this because both men and women could do the same things. Both of them could have lovers, Nisa says"I did have lovers and so did he."(p.49) She also keeps talking about how women's had to have lovers and not sit around when she says" When you are a woman, you don't just sit still and do nothing- you have lovers."(p.49) When reading this it seemed like for everyone it was normal to have a lover. She also mentions that people from long ago would also have lovers. She says" Because affairs... is something that even people from long ago knew. Even my father's father's father's father's knew."(p.49) It was not a sock to them that women or men had lovers even though they might have a wife and children. It feels like Paleolithic people were much more open about things. Paleolithic societies were more egalitarian with power, they had a ceremonial leader who was seen as a person with power. Also it talked about the people who collected food better than others that also made you superior. Finally Nisa talks about wealth, she described people as being stinge because everyone was poor. She says" If a person doesn't give something to me, I won't give anything."(p.48)
