Heh, okay, weird thought.  So, say that biological mothers
pretty much gave birth and left their children alone to
fend for each other.  Or the child was cared for by the
entire village.  Or what not.

The first woman to develop a maternal bond with her child
ascends right there, leaving her child alone for the entire
village to care for.  My mind reels.

Actually, we're talking about someone who embodies an idea
so much that the person ascends.  There can be a lot of
people who follow that idea.

So, primitive women squeezed their parasites out, fed them,
but didn't do much other than that.  Many women cared for
their young, but not outside of instinct.  Then some crazy
woman worries about her son even though he's a great
warrior.  She cuddled him out of love instead of
protection.  When she wailed and beat her fists against the
ground because her son was killed by lightning, then she
ascended.

Or at least that's my thoughts.

Kevin
