Sorry, we don't allow "throughout history" or "in your era" questions. These tend to produce threads which are collections of trivia, not the in-depth discussions about a particular topic we're looking for. If you have a specific question about a region/culture and time period, please feel free to re-compose your question and submit it again.

More appropriate subreddits include /r/AskAnthropology, /r/history, /r/askhistory. Alternatively, you could PM /u/caffarelli to suggest this topic as a possible future Tuesday Trivia feature thread.
