… what does education do, what does it have to offer, when deprived of its necessary partner, the future …? Graham Swift, Waterland (1992: 154) Myths are things that never occurred but always are. Sallustius … we should certainly pay far more attention to the biological theory of domination‐subordinance. This theory has sprung from the study of non‐human primates like gorillas ans chimpanzees. It has been discovered that their relative domination over or subordinance to one another depends largely on size and (outside the periods when females are on heat) non‐sexual factors akin to human self‐confidence. Thus a large female and a small male in the same cage will be respectively the dominator and the subordinate; the male will ‘present’ (adopt female copulatory positions) as a sign of submission. We must realise that all humans adopt (or veer between) one or other of these roles irrespective of sex. But of course human beings are not caged and live in far more complex situations; and it is the chainreaction aspect of this realtionship need that is the most dangerous for society.
