Happiness data in the US, a thread

This is interesting

You probably heard about that recent study that claimed women in modern foraging societies have played a major role in hunting, here is a link to it:

The Myth of Man the Hunter: Women’s contribution to the hunt across ethnographic contexts
https://web.archive.org/web/20230728193812/https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0287101

Well i just stumbled upon this critique of said study, here are the main points:

-The sampling methodology is likely biased toward reports of female hunters, producing an inflated estimate of the frequency of women’s hunting (80%). More realistic estimates are offered.

-The claim that women commonly participate in the hunting of large game does not hold up under closer scrutiny.
