LiveLaughLoveRevenge, a science en The Myth of Man the Hunter: Women’s contribution to the hunt across ethnographic contexts

This is why everything you hear from pop-evolution theories in sociology is likely bs.

“Women like shopping because they used to be gatherers” or other such garbage.

It’s all trying to simplify human behaviour based on half-baked knowledge of the past, and to pass it off as scientific insight. It’s not much different than the pseudoscience used to fuel racism 100 years ago.

Human behaviour is complex. And even though our societies are more complex now than 10000 years ago, it doesn’t mean people back then were simple.

I suspect that in a subsistence level culture, everyone who can, will take part in any methods to get more food!

Yes, when I think about it that way it makes the whole "men hunted, women gathered" concept seem really silly.

Thepinyaroma,

I bet subsistence leads to a level of pragmatism we haven't seen on a societal level since. It takes a certain level of your needs being met to start making up rules.

If the best hunter in the tribe is a woman... Get to it, we all want to eat right?
