The vicuñas, wild ancestors of alpacas, fell and the skilled hunters — both females and males — went to examine their wins. This somewhat hypothetical account is in stark contrast to the accepted history of such hunter-gatherers: ancient men hunted big game, while women gathered herbs and plants. But a recently discovered 9,000-year-old burial of a female hunter, and analyses of other hunter burials, suggests … Read more
