Nope, Homo Erectus was about a foot shorter than us.
Yes, I concur;
Homo Erectus men stayed home and did the grinding.
The women hunted.
In Mohawk 1600`s according O`Callaghan, the Mohawk women stayed home. The men would go out and hunt. When they killed a deer, e.g., they would go back home and send the woman back into the forest to bring back the deer by herself-
If it was a long pre-winter hunt up into the mountains, then the whole village would pack up except the elders and children and move to the mountain hunting grounds.
