       "Wall-Scheffler and her collaborators combed through accounts from as far back as the 1800s through to present day. And rather than relying on summaries of those accounts – as scientists often do when analyzing large numbers of them – Wall-Scheffler notes "our goal was to go back to the original ethnographic reports of those populations and see what had actually been written about the hunting strategies."Their findings — published in the journal PLOS One this week — is that in 79% of the societies for which there is data, women were hunting.Moreover, says Wall-Scheffler, this wasn't just opportunistic killing of animals that the women happened upon.
