The theory that men evolved to hunt and women evolved to gather is wrong

Based on evidence from exercise physiology and archaeology, Ocobock and Lacy explain the important roles estrogen plays in endurance activities, such as ultramarathons and ancient hunting practices, as well as how we can learn from skeletal remains about what activities Neanderthals and other Pleistocene humans engaged in. Ocobock and Lacy firmly situate the “man the hunter” theory in its historical context, explaining some of the social landscape of the 1960s that first produced this theory. With Ocobock and Lacy’s explanations, it is easy to see how researchers’ own biases and time periods can heavily color what data they can collect, how they interpret results, and what data they might choose to overlook
