Men are hunters, women are gatherers. That was the assumption. A new study upends it.

Their findings — published in the journal PLOS One this week — is that in 79% of the societies for which there is data, women were hunting. [Moreover], this wasn't just opportunistic killing of animals that the women happened upon. The vast majority of the [time] "the hunting was purposeful. Women had their own toolkit. They had favorite weapons. Grandmas were the best hunters of the village."
