""Darmangeat establishes with overwhelming evidence that, in fact, male domination is the norm in classless societies. [...] He demonstrates that these myths seek to justify male domination by evoking a distant disorderly past where women were in charge of society, before men set things right. [...] Darmangeat proposes a synthesis. [...] He affirms that the sexual division of labour is specific to humans. [...] Darmangeat makes an ironclad case that classless societies featured male domination."" — Erwan Moysan, Cardiff University, in: Marx & Philosophy Review of Books, 30 September 2024
