The Inevitability of Patriarchy
The Inevitability of Patriarchy is a book by Steven Goldberg published by William Morrow and Company in 1973. The theory proposed by Goldberg is that social institutions that are characterised by male dominance may be explained by biological differences between men and women (sexual dimorphism), suggesting male dominance (patriarchy) could be inevitable.
Goldberg later refined articulation of the argument in "Why Men Rule" (1993).
The main difference between the books is a shift of emphasis from citing anthropological research across all
fitness values of the genotypes, and this changes the genetic characteristics of the population."
