Busting the Myth of "Men Hunt, Women Gather"

The video explores the traditional gender roles in early societies, highlighting new research that suggests women were also big game hunters. A 9,000-year-old burial site in the Andes revealed a female skeleton with hunting tools, challenging previous assumptions about gender roles. The study suggests women may have been significant contributors to hunting activities. Additionally, the video discusses the concept of sexual dimorphism in Paranthropus, an extinct human species, and how evolutionary changes affected early humans' physical adaptations. The findings caution against making assumptions based on limited fossil records and emphasize the need to reconsider historical gender roles.
