>“I had a sneaking suspicion that women were going to be regular hunters,” Wall-Scheffler says. What surprised her was the intentionality: Among the societies with women hunters, 87% did so deliberately rather than opportunistically happening upon prey by chance. “When they get up at the beginning of the day, they’re heading out” to hunt.
This seems to broadly disagree with your claim that "Turns out that in most societies women do engage in hunting, but only a tiny percent of the time." Do you have a source for that claim?
- LatteLazy 3y agoI think you have misunderstood either OPs claim or that stat. That stat just says "among the societies with women hunters". So there could be almost no women hunters as long as 87% of the tiny number were doing so deliberately...
