      I posted a comment impulsively, then saw that you already gave the same answer better.

      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.
