"...men went out and hunted the woolly mammoth and brought it back..."
Actually, bands of roving nomads probably moved to kill sites until they finished eating it. Then on to the next kill.
"...women...apportioned it out evenly."
One mammoth provided ~4k meals of ~4kcal each. I don't think roving bands cared about 'evenly'. You can't store meat like you can ingots of gold. The team likely prepared the daily feast and folks cut off what the could eat, like at a Luby's all you can eat buffet. There's no point in stuffing more than you can eat down your pants, because you can't save it for later and it doesn't collect interest. Well, it gets flies interested, but no one wants their pants full of maggots.
Most of the initial work was butchering. Then drying meat and the various preservation of useful hides, tusks, rib bones, membranes and sinews, etc. Lots of work for the whole family.
"These people cannot be held to any standards."
That's the whole point of tarring and feathering. Fun for the whole family again.
"...future young politicians..."
I have a dream. I dream of a day when no one has any claim on me or to what is mine, that I mine and refine and develop into useful products myself. Every day that additive manufacturing improves I get closer to reaching my dream. When my dream comes true there will be no politicians, because there will be no politics, because there will be no polities, only homesteads where the head of household does what they want. Earth may still have polities, but the meek will inherit the Earth, and neither me nor my sons are meek. The whole rest of the universe awaits the bold. Where we're going there is only merit, freedom, and limitless resources to develop into inconceivable wealth.
Thanks!
