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.

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?, like hunting, building shelters and going to war, among other things? (Which some women did, but the majority did not)

Oh, ya ya, for sure. A lot of people in this thread seem to be sharing the same anti-anthropology 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 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 an indisputable minority.

Your delusions of pregnant teet-feeding women equally going to hunt and to war in your fantasy have no place here. Be real for one second. ~9 months pregnant + years of raising just the first one, immediately crosses out your claim (and you dont even need to look at the science for that one, i hope). There's a reason one of the two sexes has testosterone as their primary sex hormone and androgen, and the other has estrogen as their primary.

I suggest taking an endocrinology, archeology and anthropology class, instead of trumping your arguments with nonsense.
