Female bodies have an advantage in endurance ability that means Paleolithic women likely hunted game, not just gathered plants. The story is written in living and ancient human bodies.

    Some ladies are built “more warrior-like”.

    And what about those women who cannot bear kids? Surely they’ll go for some other role than being a mother.

      While the idea of genders roles as strict as xtian history indicate. Is basically silly in a real world survival enviroment.

      Im not sure being able to have children would be fully comprehendwd pre medicine.

      I mean even early 1900s couples blamed god not their body if children did not arrive.

      I assume hunter gathering communities would see all women below a rougth age range as potential mothers.

      However that may have effected their role in society is likely less known. Many think elder women and men were used to care for children while younger members of the community protected the tribe or hunted\gathered.

        AFAIK, God, singular, is a relatively recent and complex convention. Yes, you’re making a point by showing that even procreation was seen with different eyes, but prehistoric time spans do not compare to modern history, I assume. Comparing bio-cultural evolution to historical evolution as it likely is with monotheism might generate weird results.
