This is a very interesting read and a good source of real world analogies for those searching for inspiration on that front. I particularly liked the section on consanguinity because it is a part of the science I am not that familiar with. There are portions I disagree with, such as the social structure of the Seeker tribes being centred on the nunh. While I do think that they are very much like lions, I think the game/fantasy also turns it on its head and makes the male less dominant and more subservient to the females of the tribe, especially since SE has stated that the nunh are not to be assumed as part of the leadership of the tribe. Parts of this, I feel, need to be melded with knowledge of other tribal structures and possible inspirations, such as First Nations/Native American tribes which were, before the coming of Christianity, either gender-equal or heavily matriarchal. Still, a good write-up for the animal kingdom side of the equation. Thanks for putting it together,
