A new study rebukes notion that only men were hunters in ancient times. It found little evidence to support the idea that roles were assigned specifically to each sex. Women were not only physically capable of being hunters, but there is little evidence to support that they were not hunting.

They're mostly getting dunked on, but they're wriggling around all over the thread raging about science being made "political."

    Then what were you saying? Take a stand instead of shuffling around holding the goalposts until you appear like the superior one in the room.

      Emergent behaviours emerge from simple observations, the existence of exceptions to an observation isn’t a statement about the emergent behaviour of the population

      Your straw manning isn’t me moving goalposts, if you feel the need to resort to name calling in a discussion, it’s probably worth taking a step back from the monitor for a few minutes

        I don't think it's possible to deliver that in a more condescending and Reddity way while providing less explanation of where you actually stand.

        Your masturbatory sense of inflated self-regard would make you plenty of fairweather friends in a lower division STEM class, but otherwise all I see is a "nuh uh."

        All I see is glasses-on

        I believe that FEEEEEMALES statistically select for conveniently helpmeet roles in a way that makes exceptions and different cultures irrelevant because biotruths, and I do it in a plausibly deniable way that doesn't sound like misogyny, bucko. up-yours-woke-moralists

        it’s probably worth taking a step back from the monitor for a few minutes

        You first, and take your fedora with you after tipping it.
