  • I had always assumed that Hunter-Gatherer societies were very loosely sex divided and strongly necessity based. Meaning, sure men could be the typical hunter and women the typical gatherer but if necessity dictates, any person would do any job, and, given the times, that was probably frequently.

    Furthermore they also likely didn’t have societal structures the way modern societies did, meaning people likely weren’t barred from any job or forced into any job, it was a community effort for survival, if you meet a criteria that can help, you do that.

    These are not factual statements, these are just my assumptions on how I figured they reasonably existed.



  • In a not super scientific explanation, hot air rises and is less dense than cold air, this changes how light passes through it compared to the rest of the air. Shadows are essentially less light dense areas, so by changing how light passes through it you naturally get less dense regions behind the distortion making it darker than the other areas, aka a shadow. Air, being transparent though, there is less distortion than an opaque object, such as yourself, which has greater ability to distort (or rather, prevent) light in that area. (Your shadow)
