Question

In agrarian societies, people no longer have to move continually in search of food and they can acquire a surplus. Men gain control over the disposition of the surplus and the kinship system, and this control serves men's interests. T/F

Answer 1

True

Step-by-step explanation:

This is true since agriculture began and continues to be "male-dominated": as the neolithic revolution set wealth in society was achieved through the food surplus. The humans were able to settle, no longer searching for food. With the sedentary lifestyle, animals and tools were incorporated into agricultural production.

When the agrarian model arose, a division of labour meant male members specializing in a task while women would play a secondary role.

As man becomes more engaged in food gathering, a greater amount of physical work is required, and women are gradually set apart since taking care of children is considered to be more important and conflicting with the full-time work at the countryside.

These practices become so frequent that we say they become institutionalized.

The agrarian society paved the way for a kinship since man gain control of the food surplus and profit from the women work.
