    The top of this comment thread is a person claiming that men do all the hunting in every primitive society, not just hunting based on long distance running.

    You came into the thread to criticise a paper that showed that women hunt in 50 different societies around the world. Even your estimate of 50% is plenty enough examples to debunk the “all the hunting” claim.

    Women are perfectly capable of drawing a bow that is suitable to hunt monkeys, rabbits, squirrels, small birds, etc. Accuracy is more important than power.

    If your strategy for hunting mammoths involves your physical strength, you’re gonna have a bad time.
