Awesome, thanks! And from UofU no less haha (I work at Utah State, the redheaded stepchild of Utah schools (as a redhead, I am allowed to say that lol)).

Thank you for your great answer! That bit about overlap on tasks is basically what I had found in researching it myself (i.e. The roles of hunter and gatherer are not clear cut or mutually exclusive of either gender). I didn't know about the Grandmother Hypothesis but it's fascinating! Thanks for sharing.

Are there any scholars working on this kind of research that you'd recommend I look into?

What exactly are the main points "feminist anthropology" and who should I be reading to learn more about it?

I was talking to my sister in law about gender dynamics in hunter/gatherer societies and she told me that much of the conventional wisdom on this (E.g. Men hunt, women gather) had been debunked by feminist anthropology (her words). This conversation was sparked by an observation that my wife and I made that she is way better at finding static objects around the house while am much better at detecting movement. We conjectured that maybe this is a product of gender specializations dating back to the roles of hunter and gatherer.

Thanks in advance!
