Sharpen your spears ladies! Research has debunked the hunter-gatherer theory finding a high number of our female ancestors used to hunt too. A group of anthropologists from Washington and Seattle Pacific universities analysed 63 modern hunter-gatherersocieties, including 14 in Australia and found women hunted in nearly 80 per cent of them. This includes hunting for big game - and they left the kids behind. It's thought early anthropological work was carried out by men who have inflated the importance of men's roles and that's why this wasn't uncovered until now.
