An interesting TED talk:

http://www.ted.com/talks/michael_shermer_the_pattern_behind_self_deception.html

A TED talk on how our pattern seeking minds are prone to self deception and are most likely why we have concepts of God or larger controllers and beings. Also goes into conspiracy theorists.

Also, some interesting articles on Egalitarianism in Hunter-Gatherer societies:

• http://foragers.wikidot.com/gender-hierarchies — Information about the social hierarchy of nomadic hunter-gather societies in regards to genders.
• http://foragers.wikidot.com/egalitarianism — Further information about the social hierarchies of nomadic cultures, tending to vary from pure-egalitarianism through to semi-egalitarian.

As usual, these links have been updated into the suggested Zeitgeist Resources Doc.
