Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
A division of labour between sexes/genders in which, although there is some overlap, men hunt large game and women collect smaller game, shellfish and most plant foods, is a characteristic of all documented hunter-gatherer societies. The authors argue that there is no biological reason for this behaviour and that it must be a social construct, and that these gender roles became part of the structure of societies at the same time as other forms of symbolic behaviour associated with anatomically modern humans (Homo sapiens sapiens). The colonisation of Australia is given as an example of the relevance of established gender roles to the exploitation of a completely new environment. | ||
