Comment on The Theory That Men Evolved to Hunt and Women Evolved to Gather Is Wrong

Comments

From the article: “The inequity between male and female athletes is a result not of inherent biological differences between the sexes but of biases in how they are treated in sports”

I don’t see how this claim can be made based on the available evidence. It could be proposed as hypothesis, but stating this as a fact shows that the author is pushing an end independent of the evidence.

It’s not an unreasonable claim with long distance running. Combine that with theories about persistence hunting, and how we see many traditional people choosing very lightweight weapons when hunting even very dangerous game.

I dont think it’s unreasonable to say that it could be true, but it’s stated as a fact, not a hypothesis
