What about women of the Aeta tribe in the Phillipines? They hunted with great success. And a woman that has newly given birth can hunt, she only needs an elder and/or a lactating woman to stay behind to care for the infant.

Also, what would prevent a woman from collecting food while caring for a child, no matter how freshly hatched?

I don't see where you're getting that those marriages were 1:1.

Be careful with universalities. There's always a counter-example.

Oh come on, you gotta include the punchline!

The Cellar: We took a cultural anthropology class, this is fact.

monster 02-21-2011 02:14 PM

yeah, I thought I dropped something, I'm such a klutz

Clodfobble 02-21-2011 02:15 PM

You can just sew it back on.

monster 02-21-2011 02:15 PM

I was probably trying to hunt/gather and nurture at the same time. Always ends in tears.

Sew? Sew? Don't look at me! :bolt:

Poke another one. Any hole's a goal.

Once when Mark Twain was lecturing in Utah, a Mormon acquaintance argued with him on the subject of polygamy. After a long and rather heated debate, the Mormon finally said, “Can you find for me a single passage of Scripture which forbids polygamy?” “Certainly,” replied Twain. “‘No man can serve two masters.’”
