The influential idea that in the past men were hunters and women were not isn’t supported by the available evidence

    I wouldn’t consider 9% to be that large in this context. Certainly a difference that would be overshadowed by individual variation.

    Even if we assume women are physiologically 9% slower at persistence hunting (which that statistic is far from proving) it still suggests they could and likely were successful at it, albeit maybe not the very best.
