Forget ‘Man the Hunter’ – physiological and archaeological evidence rewrites assumptions about a gendered division of labor in prehistoric times

The myth that female reproductive capabilities somehow render them incapable of gathering any food products beyond those that cannot run away does more than just underestimate Paleolithic women. It feeds into narratives that the contemporary social roles of women and men are inherent and define our evolution. 

Our Paleolithic ancestors lived in a world where everyone in the band pulled their own weight, performing multiple tasks. It was not a utopia, but it was not a patriarchy... Suggesting that the female body is only designed to gather plants ignores female physiology and the archaeological record. To ignore the evidence perpetuates a myth that only serves to bolster existing power structures.

Unarmed white woman shot by police in Minneapolis—a reminder that police reform is for everyone

Advocates for police reform have focused on challenging a number of unfair and questionable policing practices, especially the killings of unarmed civilians by police. Of course, what most often captures our attention are the stories where this issue intersects with race—as minorities (black men and women, in particular) are disproportionately killed by police relative to their presence in the population. But police do in fact kill unarmed white people, too. And in Minneapolis, they killed an Australian woman on Saturday night but no one seems to know why....
