In "THE DOMINANT SEX A Study in The Sociology of Sex Differentiation",
the most remarkable thing, is the concentration to Europe, North Africa and Near
East. There are also many tribes which got isolated very early, and consequently, wasn't affected by later migrations
from Africa. Examples are American Indians, as well as several tribes in the Pacific's.
None of references from Africa are documented on the web as possible candidates
for women dominance. Several have indications of extreme male dominance.
