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...

I'm gonna turn into some kind of Jordan Peterson guy, just for the duration of this article.
What are you talking about
I wouldn't say "superior" like a value judgement that muscle strength is the most important thing in terms of physical ability, but I don't think that it's controversial that the average man is physically stronger than the average woman, or that being pregnant interferes with your ability at physical tasks. This article keeps going on about how it's clear that there's not any physical difference when it is blatantly clear from sporting events that (in the average, accounting for individual variation) there is.
This, I can easily believe. Male scientists past and present can be misogynistic and blatantly ignore data that contradicts the way they like to see the world. On the other hand, you literally did the exact same thing with time-to-run-marathons up above. I think balance and reality is the goal, including pointing out sexist errors when they're there, but not "feminism at all costs."
Hunting doesn't always mean wrestling a bear to the ground with your upper body strength; I am sure that women took part in hunting and that this was and is sometime blatantly ignored by (often male) scientists.
Why is this in your science article

You can talk about the biology and anthropology of XX chromosome people and XY chromosome people without getting into this
What the fuck is this I feel like I'm taking crazy pills
This was the first part that made me think, oh shit, maybe I am the wrong one, all this stuff has been valid and I've just been being Joe Rogan and poo pooing it all. Nope, it's just more made up stuff. If Hitoshi Watanabe is sexist (which apparently he is), then this is off the fuckin charts.
I don't get why it's a bad thing when male scientists bring their biases into their papers to the point of ignoring that data and just inventing their own imagined world to fit how they like to see it (which, it is, of course, a very bad thing), but all of a sudden if a feminist does it, it turns into a good thing.
It is correct that the worlds of science and medicine have not studied female bodies as well as male bodies. It's not as bad as it used to be but I think it's often true that things like recommended doses for drugs are based on assuming "a woman is a small man" rather than actual drug trials involving a significant number of women or any other kind of real data.
I agree though, if they are making up data to support their claims they have allowed their ideology to corrupt their integrity. It seems like an editor really should have fact checked this before publishing but maybe that's not how it works these days.
That’s especially true for contraception pills.
