A survey of scientists from around the world explores the latest discoveries about the role of women in their clan during the Paleolithic Age…
patriarchal projection
When, in 1868, we discovered human remains and cut stones for making weapons and tools at the site of the Cro-Magnon sanctuary in Dordogne, we could see only evidence of male superiority over human progress. In one detail: besides the tools, there is a woman at the funeral. But in the patriarchal society of the 19th century, archaeologists could not conceive of women as other than foster mothers or objects of desire.
deceptive venus
If most Paleolithic Venus figurines had chubby women, it would above all be an ode to fertility. The true portrait-robot type of the nomadic hunter-gatherer Lady Sapiens? He has slender, strong muscles, dark skin and sky-blue eyes.
working women
Science now allows us to confirm that prehistoric women could have participated in the hunt, processed animal carcasses, and even made many of the objects necessary for the survival of the group from plant materials.
