Men's strength is only supposedly superior? I'd be interested in seeing Sang-Hee Lee's study data....
- OscarCunningham 3y agoAlso, why would anyone suggest that men's superior strength would completely prevent women from hunting? Lots of game animals are weaker than all humans. It feels like a strawman set up to make the paper sound more significant.
- psychlops 3y agoI'm sure any tribe would have been delighted if any man, woman or child helped hunting small game. However, the dynamic may have been different if the hunting party were kilometers away and hunting elk. It's a lot of dead weight that has to be hauled back to camp.
