The birth rate is falling all around the world. Not everywhere, certainly. But so many different places that it is worth noting.
Part of this is simply that when women are empowered, when we are educated, when we are self supporting and independent, we don't need to settle anymore. We can be...
I don't think we can really know, because it certainly goes back at least into prehistoric times. The famous Venus idols go back to 26,000–21,000 years ago. The Lion Man idol is about 40,000 years old. But honestly, you don't need to have idols to have a concept of a deity or nature spirit...

BTW, do you know how to properly quote someone? It;s pretty simply once you know the trick. You hit the REPLY button on the original post, and you will see the whole think come up in a quote box. If you wish, you can delete portions so that only the sentence or paragraph that you directly...
