This new paper/preprint on #huntergatherer #egalitarianism highlights the confusion with imagining h-gs as 'noble savages' (oh please!). Egalitarianism actually entails the most sophisticated human politics and doesn't reduce to 'equality'. Key is individual autonomy and, genderwise, coalitionary resistance to coercion.

This is a good piece on the fallacy of imagining that #egalitarianism among #huntergatherer forebears depended on women doing hunting. No, it doesn't!

As argued here, women's role in gathering and childcare was more fundamental in creation of human society (language, ritual, art, culture, everything!).

Hunter-gatherers made this?! 🤯🤔

What really puzzles me is the disbelief that hunter-gatherers somehow could be capable of cultural achievements.

Does this come from an outdated idea equalling #HunterGatherer with #primitive?

🧵 A fundmental misunderstanding ...
