Note: I am talking about ancient Hunter gathers not the modern Hunter gathers because they are not a view into the past.
I feel like Hunter gathers are more diverse than we think.

The only bad thing about humans trying to interpret ancient art, and icons is that how to define what gender they think the items are. For example with venus figures how do we define what is "female", or "male". How would we know their gender system is binary?
"Although discussions of Upper Paleolithic figurines are of-ten framed as though all of the figurines are female, manyare quite obviously not female. There are figurines of nudemales, male animals, and possibly male fantastical charac-ters (e.g., the lion-human hybrids from Hohlenstein-Stadel,Geißenkl¨osterle, and Hohle Fels in Germany), but these arenot interpreted within a sexual framework.
