#AndrewLawler's book:
> Dueppen believes that the rejection of cattle and hierarchy hinged on the availability of the chicken.

> Come the revolution, the fowl provided a viable alternative to the cow.
> Chicken bones quickly replace those from cattle. #Cattle are traditionally a male domain, whether in Britain or Burma, while chickens are typically under female control in pre-industrial cultures. #Dueppen suspects that women may have played a key role in overturning Kirikongo’s nascent elite.
