E. O. Wilson does a great job of dismantling the Dawkins form of selfish gene explanations.
I’m not dismissing evolutionary psychology or sociobiology but in science it usually turns out that the easy intuitive answer has a million holes in it. Gotta be nuanced dude!
Honestly I’m not saying you’re wrong. I’m just saying when it comes to specifics that **** gets very complex.

No, I'm pretty sure hunter gatherers understood rape. Not necessarily that word for it but they would recognize It's pretty straight forward. I think you underestimate their intelligence.
They existed in familial units. Women weren't just on their own. They had brothers and fathers and uncles etc to protect them.
It's not even speculation. Tribes still exist on this planet to this day.
