Actually,Gimbutas said something very similar to this in the
introduction to 'the Language of The Goddess', speaking of supposedly
'gylandric', that is egalitarian - term by R. Eisler, from The Chalice
and the Blade - Neolithic societies.
Otherwise I liked very much the idea of nomadic, egalitarian societies
vs. patriarchic sedentary ones. Thank you for mentioning it.
