Observing the mechanism in any species helps you understand it as a concept, which beta clearly doesn't. I do wish that people who want to talk about evolution would try to actually understand it and maybe realize that it doesn't have anything to do with their religion.
I honestly have no opinion on the issue currently being discussed - that women have evolved to be weaker due to natural selection of getting dominated/impregnated by men. I don't know if that's true or not, and don't really care either way since it shouldn't dictate morals. But I still don't see how spiders have anything to do with it lol.
Your religion accepts evolution anyway, so it's not really an issue for you.
You'd see it if you had an interest in evolutionary biology. As I said, the mechanism is the same for every species. The result is the only thing that's different. It's a fascinating subject. While Darwin was too early in the game to give a completely accurate picture, his work is a good place to start. His illustrations are reason enough, I think.

In most early societies, women provided the food. Hunting was never that successful beyond tiny populations, and agricultural work fell on the shorter gender with more endurance and better wide field vision. Men "protected" women about like a lion "protects" his pride. We can determine this based on patterns of wear and damage in bones and teeth.
We evolved quite a lot pre-agriculture.
