The overemphasis of the term hunter-gatherer plays into the man-the-hunter myth. If you’re gonna label a group of animals (including humans) based on the way they eat, primitive humans have foraged for their mainstay for a much longer period of time. Plus, if civilization kept slowly creeping in, if you want to adapt to a pre-civ way of life, foraging is much more pre-civ. Humans hunting has done much more harm than humans foraging. Is eating plants less manly? Is that part of the patriarchy?
