Myth of Man the Hunter: Women's hunt contribution across ethnographic contexts (plos.org)
4 points by peanutcrisis 3 months ago | hide | past | favorite | 3 comments



You would think that the idea that early human men hunted and women gathered would not be controversial, but scholars are fixated on disproving it. They have literally excavated hunting camps from the ice age and found more males graves than females and it really is one of the most well-established archaelogical facts. but that doesn't stop the endless lectures


This was extensively discussed and criticized at the time, so presenting it at face-value, ignoring all of the criticism, does not make a very good submission.


Good article, always worth questioning our ingrained assumptions.
