      Imagine how much more advanced society would be today if women, who comprise half the world’s brain power, were socially & intellectually enfranchised from the beginning of civilization.

      Agree totally. Why not also add all the folk who were not part of the thin strata of people who were educated and influential in earlier eras (Science historian James Burke always points out that our time now is harnessing far more collective brain power than earlier eras).

          I think it would depend on how much each great scientist relied on their spouse to help them focus and achieve success. A case might be made that behind every great achievement in science is a patient and understanding spouse? Doubling the pool might meet diminishing returns?

          This sounds really horrible when put in blunt terms, but women in the work force need to be viewed as an asset. #1 as a group they are better at certain things than men are. #2 because they are.

          Exactly! Imagine if we had records from the peasants living under the merovingians. Imagine if the average 3rd dynasty Egyptian peasants were literate and had enough free time to think about how the world worked.

          Bill nye has a sly way of promoting women’s education world wide as a means of population control, where educated women have less children. 🤷‍♀️

          This ignores the role that women had played in raising children since the start and also that most people weren't enfranchised according to present standards. There is also a self sorting mechanism where only a few people are interested in nerdy science stuff.

          There’s a documentary about a boy in Africa whose parents couldn’t afford to continue his education. He read library books & invented a way to produce electricity from a windmill he built. He was lucky & was noticed & ended in a US college. How many others fall thru the cracks.

          Hits the nail more on the head. Education was reserved for the uppermost class. More like a 95% exclusion vs 50%. We can still do better..

          I find it fascinating that you too big brains don't realize that so many of the men and women you want to enfranchise probably would have had a counter effect on the accomplishments of the world.

          Your point illustrates why the Gutenberg printing press is so significant that it has come to be known as one of the most important inventions of our time by including people that wouldn't have had access to archived knowledge

          I think development would have been the same, communication, travel, agriculture needed time to develop. Disease, starvation, lack of medical care and early death affected all equally. To assume things would have advanced more rapidly is a huge leap.

          Well said Dan. Class more than anything else seems to be the indicator of whether or not opportunities existed for you through a large portion of “civilization”.
