Indeed, what hath this to do with Progressivism? But I might stick around for the ride, it already seems based.

I think I'll be able to weave it onto modern politics by part 3 or 4

I think any comparison of chimpanzees to human society is not complete without mentioning bonobos. At the very least because bonobos are the common retort from the left to using chimpanzees as a reference to a primordial human social model. I don't think it changes anything here, since the thesis is of primitive egalitarian, if still male led, societies. And bonobo research is quite limited (due to a much smaller geographic range)

I mention in Pt. 2, (I will be rewriting much of Pt. 1), that a lot of these primitive egalitarian societies were matriarchal to some degree. As far as the usage of bonobos as a social-model goes, it will definitely be among the additions to this chapter.
