Thank you for your great answer! That bit about overlap on tasks is basically what I had found in researching it myself (i.e. The roles of hunter and gatherer are not clear cut or mutually exclusive of either gender). I didn't know about the Grandmother Hypothesis but it's fascinating! Thanks for sharing.

Are there any scholars working on this kind of research that you'd recommend I look into?

You’re welcome! Glad I could provide some insight. This isn’t my specific expertise, so unfortunately I can’t really rattle off a bunch of good sources for you, but I gave this one a cursory glance and it seems to cover a lot of it, including those early “man the hunter” parts. Hawkes 2003

Awesome, thanks! And from UofU no less haha (I work at Utah State, the redheaded stepchild of Utah schools (as a redhead, I am allowed to say that lol)).
