Hypothesis
Women are not expected to have a significant role in hunting in the majority of hunter-gatherer societies.
Note
The authors replicated the Anderson et al. (2023) method and found bias in the sample and coding errors. They found that of the 50 societies that the original study coded as women hunting, only 8 of them had explicit statements on that.
