In Iroquois history, the men went out and shot the deer, etc.

Here`s something pretty close to boney women.

“women would also go out into the forest and cut down and carry the wood back to the village so that they may have some sort of heat during the cold winters and also that they were able to cook the food that the men would catch.”

“The Women are obliged to prepare the Land, to mow, to plant, and do every Thing; the Men do nothing except hunting, fishing, and going to War against their Enemies”

‘Dutch Minister Describes the Iroquois (1644)’

“[The Rev. John Megapolensis was a minister at the Dutch church in Rensselaerwyck in New Netherlands, and he was a missionary to the Indians.]”

“...the Men do nothing except hunting, fishing, and going to War against their Enemies.”

Well - that’s not exactly “nothing”. It obviously is the most natural of things - seeing as the indians (”stone age”) were doing similar things as their stone age neighbors an ocean and 6,000 years away.

And while I wouldn’t suggest that my kids get into paleontology - this kind of research is pretty interesting. I’m not sure what “good” it does - but I’m guessing a lot of science is like that.
