All the people in a tribe are the spouses of the matriarch?

  That sounds ridiculous.

  There is such a strange tribe.

  Ye Wanwan couldn't help but begin to wonder if there was something wrong with her ears and she heard it wrong.

  Looking at her big watery eyes full of puzzlement, the corners of Bai Chen's mouth couldn't help but smile, reached out and pinched her cheek, and explained to her well.

  "This kind of tribe does exist, but it's rare now." Bai Chen said lightly, "Even I've only heard of it before, and I've never seen it yet." All I know is that this tribal model was prevalent more than 2,000 years ago, and it was only later that it gradually disappeared. ”

  Savages do not have history books, and many things from the past cannot be left to future generations in the form of words, but can only be passed on to future generations through word of mouth.

  Therefore, Bai Chen's knowledge of this tribe is not complete.

  As far as he knows, the reason why this tribal model first swept through primitive societies more than 2,000 years ago was mainly related to an epidemic.

  At that time, an extremely terrible plague suddenly came, which caused countless wild people to lose their lives, and the number of female wild people suddenly decreased to freezing point, which made the primitive tribe with more men and fewer women even worse.

  At its worst, the number of female savages was even only one-twentieth of that of male savages.

  It's really pitiful.

  Then the problem of the reproduction of the wild people and the problem of the male wild man not being able to find a mate followed.

  In order to deal with the fact that there were too few female savages, the savages later learned a special survival mode from the wolves, which was to form a tribe with the female savages as the patriarch and the rest of the tribe as men.

  Within the tribe, the female savage is not only the ruler who can call the shots, but also the spouses of other tribesmen, who can choose which mate to give birth to according to their own preferences and wishes.

  In this way, more male wildlings can have mates, and at the same time, the number of female wildlings giving birth to cubs is greatly increased.

  And the female savage patriarch, who is cared for and protected by many clansmen, can also live a better life, which is conducive to their health and safety.

  At that time, the savages called it the "wolf tribe" model.

  After Bai Chen told Ye Wanwan everything he knew, Ye Wanwan finally understood a little, showing an expression of sudden realization.

  "I see, it seems that the wild people lived quite hard at that time." She said thoughtfully.

  Bai Chen agrees with this.

  Can you not be bitter to share the same spouse with a large number of male savages?

  If it were him, he would never have imagined that there would be another spouse other than himself by his side.

  It was worse for him than it was to kill him.

  "Then what about later, why did this wolf tribe gradually disappear?" At this time, Ye Wanwan was like a walking 100,000 whys, and there were still a lot of questions in her stomach.

  Bai Chen happily replied, "Later, the number of female wildlings gradually increased, and this tribal form declined, and the wildlings began to live as one spouse and multiple guardians. ”

  Compared with the "wolf tribe model", I have to say that the current model of "one spouse with multiple guardians" is healthier.

  At the very least, it can give the male savage more opportunities to get close to his mate.
