Conflict is, in journalistic parlance, good copy. It makes humans pay attention. The problem is, it's not always true.

Darwin's Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection is conflict-based. The problem is that modern evolutionary biology also shows good evidence for cooperation both within and between species.

Humans evolved in Africa. Of all places humans live, Africa still has the largest and most diverse species of both predators and large prey animals.

Before the European re-invasion of Africa, many tribal groups were living in a near-balance with their environments. They only occasionally killed an elephant, and when they did, they used the whole animal. They were largely true hunter-gatherers.

But that term doesn't mean what you think. It's not so neat as "men go hunt big mammoth, women look for edible plants and mushrooms." That stereotype isn't at all true.

Both men and women knew which plants were edible. Both trapped and hunted small game, and the kids, elderly, and disabled probably helped. When large prey came through the area, both men and women would prepare for the hunt. Some women (presumably those who were not heavily pregnant and those without small, LOUD children) would participate in the hunt.

Modern gender roles and definitions are simply that. Modern. Feminism is simply women reclaiming our former diversity of roles in human culture.
