I read Elaine Morgan's book, The Descent of Woman, over 20 years ago and I enjoyed it. It made sense to me. I'm not exactly sure why I starting digging around the internet yesterday looking for articles about her theory, but that's what happened. I have not read any of her other books, but they are now on my list.
I watched the BBC program from 1998 about her and the theory - the quality was not a good one, so I went searching again and found this. I also found a blog that is dedicated to this theory - I've only read a couple of entries and am looking forward to delving into it over the next few days. I'm sure that the internet will yield even more treasures!
There are a lot of thoughts swirling around my little brain about this and how it relates to feminism, spirituality, evolution, the environment and Life - all subjects of vital interest to me. As my thoughts coalesce and take a form which I can verbalize, you'll read about it here!
Well she and ideas make perfect sense to me. I can't imagine why there is resistance or really what difference any theory would make if 'proven' to be true. But I am also sure that if anyone could explain that to me, it will be you Kathy. Your thirst for knowledge and curiosity are contagious.

Thanks, Lisa - there is so much "out there" in which I am interested. When I pull it together, you will be one of the first who gets to know!
DeleteI appreciate you and your being so open to my segues into "different" territories!

Always nice to see people taking an interest in Elaine Morgan. :) Just for information, her website link no longer works. Here's the new url for it: http://www.elainemorgan.org/
