Hunting and gathering: The human sexual division of foraging labor

The variations found in the degree of sex-specific foraging specialization across human foragers and the evolution of sexual division of labor is discussed. The analysis has shown a greater division of foraging labor in more seasonal habitats and also a natural trading relationship between male and female in the context of pair bonds.
