Is there any interesting research or studies regarding what ancient people or cultures pre monotheism did in regards to gender or sexuality?

I have old friends who take the Joe Rogan tribal view of like eating meat all the time and I just want to challenge them about the whole alpha male thing.

    I've got some stuff from contemporary anthropology in Polynesia so I can type that up later if it's acceptable. I'd really be interested in historical examples as was the spirit of this post so I don't wanna dump a post where it's not appropriate
