Again, this assumes there was no significant brain difference when agriculture
was invented which I find hard to believe or that hunting with fire hardened
sticks (spears) was insignificant. I would like to compare male and female
snake catchers or bass fishermen. I do know women get as excited about the
blood sports as men, but from an evolutionary standpoint, there are likely
different reasons. The males are going to get sex in exchange for protien and
the females are going to get protien in exchange for sex. They don't need to
hunt.
