About

Archaeology or archeology[a] is the study of human activity through the recovery and analysis of material culture. The archaeological record consists of artifacts, architecture, biofacts or ecofacts, sites, and cultural landscapes.

Archaeology has various goals, which range from understanding culture history to reconstructing past lifeways to documenting and explaining changes in human societies through time.

The discipline involves surveying, excavation, and eventually analysis of data collected, to learn more about the past. In broad scope, archaeology relies on cross-disciplinary research. Read more...

The influential idea that in the past men were hunters and women were not isn’t supported by the available evidence

That is 100% true. Medical science treats the male body as "normal" and does most studies on males, and women as the outlier and if the male-designed treatment doesn't work the same way on women then it's the woman's problem. It's a real fucked up situation and it's still going on.

I just don't think it's the same for athletics. I've done athletics and worked with athletic people of both genders, and it's absolutely not true that women athletes are just treated as small males. I mean, if that were true and significant, all it would take is one coach who trained women properly and female athletes under their supervision would have a huge advantage over all the other improperly-trained female athletes.
