Were Men the Only Hunters in Early Human Societies? It may not be completely true in all societies.

In the past we assumed that man was the only hunters in early society and that carries through today.  In the U.P. we have lots of male hunters and we even have some female hunters. Research helps us see that the role of women was not as socially constructed as it is today. We should take from this that gender role differences may be somewhat unrelated the realities of the past. Nothing is conclusive but you get the point. Body mass and strength of men might make a difference but it isn't the only difference.
