I thought everyone knew this. Tasks based on sex were not so prevalent until high cultures formed and people started settling down instead of being nomadic.

Men are faster and stronger. Men don’t spend a good portion of their lives growing children and breastfeeding them. So more free time to hunt. Men’s eyesight is literally better at picking up motion than woman’s and men have better reflex’s and hand eye coordination. Men outperform woman in almost all aspents of what it takes to be a great hunter back in the early human days.

pretty much every study of these sort of things show that there is very little difference in performance between women and men - maybe on the scale of 5%. There is more difference between members of the group than there is between the genders. so it didn’t really make much difference when it came to deciding who should do what.
ultimately, it doesn’t matter, the difference is so slight that it was basically not noticeable, if it even did exist.

You can downvote me and science, but wake me up if you come up with an argument disputing the entire field of endocrinology, molecular biology, and the rest of biology by extension. Not to mention archeology and anthropology.
At the very simplest way to understand, you do know the difference between testosterone and estrogen, and their biological mechanisms, correct? Rhetorical.

It’s the anthropology that proves the claim.
Tell us more about your opinions on high school biology.

Now, now, don’t twist the things I said into a flat-out lie to fit your agenda.
Try and stay fact based if you are capable. No need for defamation.

So you agree with the meme, great.

Like being pregnant and giving birth (as many times as possible), breastfeeding, and raising those same infants while the men are doing tasks that are unfeasible for pregnant breastfeeding women taking care of infants?
Oh, ya ya, for sure. A lot of people in this thread seem to be sharing the same anti-anthopology delusion. Which is very concerning but not surprising in the age of misinformation. More culture-war BS.

Anthropology tends to support the fact that women and men pretty much all had equal share of pretty much every task in the palaeolithic and neolithic eras.
You shouldn’t just reject scientific advances because it goes against what you learned at school. What you learned was wrong. Science adapts based on new evidence. You can too.

Some heavy projection there, drake. Maybe you should stick to the science. I hope you know that women have pregnancies and feeding the babies with their teats to deal with, along with needing someone to take care of the young children, which incapacitated them from most physically demanding tasks, like while hunting or going to war. I’m not talking about non-pregnant, able-bodied women that weren’t tasked with taking care of children, which were a indisputable minority.
Your delusions of pregnant teet-feeding women going to hunt, in your fantasy of “they did equal share” have no place here. Be real for one second. ~9 months pregnant + years of raising just the first one. There’s a reason one of the two sexes has testosterone as their primary sex hormone and androgen, and the other, estrogen.
I suggest taking an endocrinology, archeology and anthropology class, instead of trumping your arguments with nonsense.

Not just nomadic. Many sedentary societies lack strong gender divisions in labor as well.
