    Man carves out half a pumpkin with eyeholes and puts it on his head to amuse the tribe after dinner. Archaelogist 65000 years later: here we see a fossilzed gourd used by the males as a helmet in battle.

    Pssh. Next thing you know, these “scientists” will be claiming to have disproven that men are from Mars and women are from Venus.

    I found an interesting scientific article talking about this topic, focusing on the Americas. Here’s a link if anyone is interested.

    Special emphasis on this map. Red circle = woman buried with hunting tools for large prey.

    This also reminds me the etymology of the Amazon rainforest, after the mythical female warriors. Apparently a Spanish explorer fought some “tapuya” (non-Tupi) people, with men and women taking on arms. And when you think about it, the same set of skills and attributes necessary for war are useful to hunt large non-humans, and vice versa.
