New Study PROVES That Prehistoric Women Were Superior Hunters to Men

Racism, sexism, and homophobia explain why White men are wrong about everything.

Despite being incompetent boobs who have never contributed a thing to the world, somehow, we get all the credit.

It is a miracle. The stupidest, least capable people somehow run the world with an iron fist.

The latest example of how White men have twisted reality like a pretzel is the false belief that in prehistoric times, men were generally the hunters and women the gatherers and caretakers.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Science has proven this beyond doubt.

If you envisage a prehistoric hunter, a vision of a caveman might spring to mind.

But a new study claims that these cavemen paled in comparison to their female counterparts.

While women have long been seen as child-rearers and gatherers and men as hunters, researchers from the Univeristy of Notre Dame have debunked this theory.

“Debunked.” That’s a word that carries a lot of weight. Did they find a secret video that proves this theory or perhaps some other incontrovertible evidence? Clearly, there are no written records since, by definition, “prehistoric” is pre-writing.

No, their theory is based on hormones, which give women greater endurance than men–which is, in fact, true in general.

Their study found that not only did prehistoric women engage in the practice of hunting, but their female anatomy and biology would have made them intrinsically better suited for it.

‘Rather than viewing it as a way of erasing or rewriting history, our studies are trying to correct the history that erased women from it,’ said Dr Cara Ocobock, lead author of the study.

Uh, yeah, right. Except for one obvious fact: there have been and remain stone-age tribes in the world, and you know what? The men tend to be the hunters, and the women are the gatherers and caregivers. And yes, there are not-so-secret videos of this fact. These societies, by the way, tend to be very sexist and the women often do most of the work, while the men tend to hunt and make war.

Feminist paradises they are not.

The findings show that the female body is better suited for endurance activity, which would have been critical in early hunting.

The main reasons for this biological advantage are hormones – in this case, oestrogen and adiponectin, which are typically present in higher quantities in female bodies than in male.

These two hormones play a critical role in enabling the female body to modulate glucose and fat – a function that is key in athletic performance.

Oestrogen in particular helps by encouraging the body to use its stored fat for energy before using up its carbohydrate stores and protecting the body’s cells from damage during heat exposure.

Now, I will readily admit that women have more endurance and, in general, more patience than men, especially the young men who will do most of the endurance-type hunting. But that fact does not tell you anything about what men and women do in society, nor even tell you much about the respective suitability of the bodies to the task of hunting.

Men are faster and stronger, which counts quite a bit. They are also more aggressive unless you count passive-aggressive. But most prey animals don’t respond to those stimuli.

This is just silly. It isn’t just common sense and the broad sweep of history that tells you that men were almost certainly the primary hunters in primitive societies. We still have actual examples of primitive societies that show us what life was like for prehistoric man.

Still, this drivel can get you tenure and notice in the MSM, so people push it.
