Digging Into New Ideas About Prehistoric Women - a podcast by TVO | Steve Paikin

The 19th century interpretation of women's roles in helping Paleolithic tribes survive and thrive is getting a revelatory update. As depicted in Lady Sapiens, a TVO original documentary, a contemporary re-evaluation of DNA, fossils, bones, cave art, and beading has revealed that women were often leaders, hunters, and had technical skills beyond what was originally thought. We speak to April Nowell, a professor of anthropology at the University of Victoria about the varied roles of women beyond stereotypes.
