The Evolution and the discovery of time.
I was listening to NPR and there was a discussion that Women discovered Time and hence made us more humans.
OK this is hard to articulate to bear with me...
Assumptions:
- Animals do not have the notion of time.
- Animals react based on their instints.
Once upon a time, humans hitherto did not discover time yet. They were driven by their instincts. And women somehow started having menstruation at about every 29.5 days. This somehow matches how long it takes the moon to turn around the earth. Men, then, somehow, started to understand what is the worst time to approach women for sex based on the moon state. And Men learned to anticipate the future. Since then, men learned to hunt better, survive better, understand fatherhood... and now play with the genomes.

Thank you woman!
This theory is probably valid, that’s probably why you hear people saying: “her clock is ticking” . I wonder though how this is tied to our biological clock. Scientists have even isolated genes related to our clocks….Could it be that our sexual behavior is transforming us at the genetic level? And if they really invented time, why are they always late (not all of them to be nice)? …etc...
The theory that women essentially invented the concept of time due to their experience of menses was raised by Dr. Leonard Shlain in his book "Sex, Time and Power: How Women's Sexuality Shaped Human Evolution".
I think this is a theory that's compliant with darwinism, since only men who adapted to women's cycles and moods survived.
