In a way the men were also gatherers: it's far easier to gather the meat from a carcass some real predator has already killed instead of trying to kill it yourself. Not that they always gathered the meat for the women. It tends to be heavy. Better just eat it here when it's fresh...

[And yeah, I saw the tongue in your cheek. I just have an issue with those romantic paintings of men trying to kill a mammoth with spears, but never seeing a picture of men kneeling around a half eaten lion's prey.]

Sounds like a good reason to learn how to paint...

If you do though make one that shows the lion returning mid feast to reclaim the carcass. That'd be cool!

I can hardly draw a stick figure on a chalkboard without the pupils asking me why I drew a banana with four frogs sticking from its sides and a hand grenade for head. I can't even write "it's supposed to be a man", because then they are going to ask me a hundred times why did I write a note in Chinese under the said banana.

Good thing the Google image search is never too far away in the classroom.
