CHAPTER

Reassessing Women's Roles in Hunting

This chapter explores the often-marginalized contributions of women in hunting among hunter-gatherer societies, challenging the male-centric narratives of the 'Man the Hunter' hypothesis. It delves into various cultural practices, the impact of societal norms, and the historical biases that have shaped our understanding of gender roles in subsistence strategies. By examining both ethnographic data and contemporary debates, the chapter advocates for a nuanced perspective on women's hunting practices and their significance in human evolution.
