I have been thinking a little about archetypes, and it seems reasonable that we have evolved some archetypes. We can of course create stereotypes by inductive reasoning, but some stereotypes seem to come from instincts or biological evolution. Here is a map of some archetypes I think come from our instincts or biological evolution:
The "Sage" archetype seems to be the only archetype that only humans have. The other archetypes seem to be common also in many other mammals.

We did. You did. Yes we can. No.

There are a ton of others. Why did you pick these?
Also, that reminds me of another hexagonal diagram I saw once.
In this case, the vertical axis is introversion, with extroversion on the bottom.

I don't necessarily think there are so many others. I mean, we can probably make an almost infinite about of stereotypes, but I don't think we are genetically preprogrammed for so many stereotypes (or archtypes). These I think have a high likelyhood of being genetically preprogrammed.
In the paleolithic era, when humans evolved, we lived in quite small communities. In these groups, there probably was one "alpha male", and maybe one "wise old guy (sage)". Women were of course involved in rasing the children (caretaking).
When an alpha male gets old, it is usually challenged by a younger member of the community. Therefore I put the challenger there. Young fertile women that hadn't had kids yet, were temptresses.

I am thinking that many of the presidents of today, might be appealing to this desire for alpha male leaders. Putin and Duterte seem to appeal a lot to the innate desire of humans to have an alpha male to rule their societies. I would also argue that Germans think of Angela Merkel as a caregiver. They probably got a bit sick of alpha males after Hitler.
I have also started wondering if it is wise to just have one person ruling a society. If we elected 3 individuals (one alpha male, one caregiver, and one sage), then they could make decisions democratically in the government. It might be more balance between the sexes in such a system. Because of this idea, I have now included this on the page about governance and criteria for a healthy democracy: http://www.archania.org/governance/#A_democracy_with_more_balance_between_the_sexes
BTW, I have now made all the sections and subsections in all my articles into anchors, that can be linked to directly. This makes it really good when I am discussing with people, because I can now link directly to where I have written about whatever we are discussing.

That seems possibly overly prescriptive, and highly speculative.

I made a new illustration for the diversity prediction theorem:

BTW. I am horrible at drawing things. Nobody else wants to try to draw this?
