Hey, on the other hand, if there's no one else around, there's no one to stop you from picking out the biggest antelope or juiciest melon (though I gather the gathering part of food-finding was usually done by the women gathering together...to gather, that is.)

However, early human men were pack hunters. So does that mean you would have done better if you had company?

On a separate note, if men were pack hunters, how did women become pack toilet-goers? Was this some ancient practice of fertilising the fields?

Also, does being able to outrun a parking attendant lead to the lack of hostility towards her because she would be the first to be run over by an SUV/trampled by a woolly mammoth?

hahahaha...good entry! funny lah you!

btw:
1. men hunt, women gather.
2. dinosaurs died out before humans appeared. so maybe a hairy mammoth would be more appropriate?

heh. anyway, haven't had chance to argue with you over dinner table for so long...online will have to do. ;)

BTW, it's still disputed as to whether dinosaurs lived with man, and we may never be truly certain. ;>

I thought it was pretty well established that dinosaurs and men lived in completely different periods.

Hence ancient man was more likely to be crushed by a woolly mammoth's trampling foot while he was hunting it with flint-headed spears.

This must be one of the funniest LJ posts I've ever read. Thanks for cheering up my day, Joe!

PS. Yeah, I will never get why women go to the toilet in grps either. ;p
