"In many human societies, females often were involved in gathering, while men" used to hunt"

Latest comment: 1 month ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I think this is misleading. Recent evidence shows that this was a long-lasting misconception in anthropology, but archaeological finds show that women (or females) did regularly hunt, as well as typically all people being involved in gathering. Both men and women would hunt in large groups, and female skeletons have been found buried in graves with their hunting tools. Roughly half (or slightly less) of skeletons assumed to be hunters (because they were buried with their hunting tools) were female.

Also, "but over the course of time, Gender equality has been (or is being) recognized in more and more countries" feels disjointed from the rest of the sentence--what does gender equality have to do with how people obtained their food? Splitting these sentences and simply having "Over the course of time..." would fit better. ~2026-50174-25 (talk) 23:04, 17 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
