      They also practiced polygamy, so that rich and influential men would have multiple wives and poor men would have none. Imagine the rage when you were a Shepherd tending someone else’s flocks, knowing that you will never have a wife or family.

      It makes sense to have occasional wars with neighboring tribes so that excess males can be removed from the system.
