I feel like we probably just never interpreted the evidence that was out there in the correct way because of our biases. I don’t see why they would have gender segregation when everyone could just do whatever they wanted to/were good at. Seems like the simplest method to me too.
It makes sense for men to be more exposed to danger, we can’t bear children
I agree I don’t think they would have had gender segregation I just think the ratio of hunters would skew towards more males because of interests and danger.
