Ancient Men Stayed in Caves While Nomadic Women Roamed About

Ancient Men Stayed in Caves While Nomadic Women Roamed AboutTraditionally, men have been looked at as the travelers, roamers and hunter-gatherers. But, who ever said that commonly held tradition always translates into universal reality? New research indicates that pre-human females were the nomads, while males chose to stay close to home (in their man caves, naturally).

So, with very little to go on, you’re probably wondering how scientists made this determination. In an effort to better understand our ancestors, researchers studied African “fossil teeth.” According to TIME’s NewsFeed:

Researchers examined 19 chompers that belonged to our extinct antecedents, Australopithecus africanus and Paranthropus robustus. The teeth, unearthed in two South African caves, suggest that half of the female inhabitants hailed from afar, while 90% of the males were homegrown.

The researchers discovered this by testing the enamel on the teeth for strontium, which varies by region and is absorbed from the soil by plants and animals. While the homebody men shared similar levels of the naturally-occurring element, the ladies’ strontium isotope levels varied, indicating that they came from far and wide.

The USA Today quips that these male hominids “lik[ed] their man caves.” Now that scientists have begun to unlock some interesting tidbits about our ancestors, there are new questions emerging. Why did males stay close to home and women roam? What fueled these gender roles? Jeffrey Laitman, director of the Center for Anatomy and Functional Morphology at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, says that determining the reasons for these behaviors will likely be tough. He said:

“I think they’re going to have to extrapolate a bit, but at least we have the beginnings of the story. I don’t think this is by chance — I think their data is real, and they’re cracking open the behaviors of our ancestors.”

Sandi Copeland, a paleoanthropologist at the University of Colorado, believes that these revelations could be the start of the pre-human sense of community. This would have intriguing revelations for the social sciences, as the AP notes that community continues to be an important element in communities across the globe. Tracking its beginnings would potentially be immensely beneficial to the field. Watch Copeland explain this important research below:

    Ok, lets get this straight.

    On the 6th day God created man. Denotes mankind in general.

    7th day he rested.

    Sometime after that he formed “The Man Adam” eth ha adahm from the ground. Approx. 6,000 years ago.

    Cain went east to the land of Nod and took a wife. This wife undoubtedly from the 6th day creation.

    We have plenty evidence of many creatures that God created in the first earth age.

    That’s right, first earth age. There are 3 earth ages and 3 simultaneous heavenly ages.

    We are currently in the 2nd earth age and close to the end of that.

    Read 2nd peter chap 3.

    Also, a day with the Lord is as a Thousand years and a Thousand years is as a day.

    The Earth is millions if not billions of years old. 4.6 Billion by most accounts.

    I approximate that this earth age started between 12 and 14 thousand years ago by major destruction and subsequent extinctions that occured then.

    The Bible is the true word of God and needs to be understood.

    Hope this helps.

    Some more pseudo science. If Humanoids where anything like living apes today then their behavious was probably similar. I don’t knowabout of Chimps, Orangs or Baboons kidnapping females but another mamal species Purpoises do. It makes a lot more sense to believe that female DNA would be more varied if this was the case it would also insure against too much inbreeding. For all the anti-evolutionists God created everything, Humans as well as monkeys and apes unless there was someone else doing creations.

    Why is it that some new factoid has to be turned into some stupid idea about “gender difference?” Could it be that ancient men were dominated by ancient women as in New York City today?

    Isn’t it just as likely that:
    a) the women were captives from other tribes … the males having been killed in battle

    or

    b) the women were those left homeless when their male companion died, so roamed to find a tribe that would take them in

    or

    c) when a couple formed, the woman left her tribe and joined with the man’s tribe?

    These are all patterns we find in the civilizations in recorded history … why presume differently?

      I would suggest you re-read the account of creation in Genesis. The earth was created first and when it was finished to God’s satisfaction, he then created man and then later, the woman. This entire process could have been many thousands of years from start to finish. Using Bible chronology it can be determined that mankind has been on earth around 6000 years now. The earth itself…?

      In the Genesis creation account each of the six “Days” had a beginning and an end.
      Then the seventh “Day” began.
      Where in the Bible does it say the seventh day ended? After some 6000 years, we are still in the seventh day!
      So, is it plausible that the previous six “Days” could have lasted as long as the seventh day has?

      a more likely reason that the women are more diverse geographically is that hunting parties of men went out to gather food…encounter other tribes…fight and take the women..or trade their food for the women…
      i mean think about it…men with spears and clubs looking for meat and food come upon a tribe whose men are also away looking for food…they raid the cave…drag the women back home…and there you have it…

      To begin with, I didn’t come from an ape. Maybe Obama did, but I didn’t.
      Second, the earth is millions of years old. There were males and females on earth before Adam. People start counting with Adam and that is why they think that the earth is just over 6,000 years old. Adam was the first Jew but not the first human. I have seen a human footprint in the middle of a dinosaur footprint near Canyon Lake, Texas and that proves that man and dinasaurs existed at the same time.
      Third, it has been charistic of men to go wherever it was necessary to get a woman. Quite often it is in sleazy bars but long ago it was a distant village… where they were raising an idiot named Hillary.
      Fourth.. no, let’s skip fourth and get a fifth and head out to a sleazy bar for women. :-)

I know you have all been told there are no missing links or no people (remains) found older then 5000 years for the longest time,,and that might have been true in Darwin‘s time and a few decades ago and the Religious still tell you that’s fact but,,,most of the missing links,time lines and family trees have been found, They have even created a living cell with just Chemicals ( no DNA ancestry) by putting chemicals at random in an empty cell wall,,,I guess life can just happen and is still wonderful,,and the mystery isn’t such a mystery!

      So here we have the first metrosexuals. They’re hanging out, decorating their “man” caves, watching HGTV and Desperate Troglodytes, and munching on canapes. Big deal.

      Hmmmmm ….. Sir Winston Churchill once said something like ….. there are lies, dammed lies and (the worst yet) statistics ……

      Not that I really care one way or the other (I kind of like my cave) …. but don’cha think there may be more than one explanation for the strontium variances? I will watch the video later so am responding to the text presently. For example, could it be that the women were captured in battles with other tribes / family groups ? or, in primitive times, as a precursor to slavery, maybe the women were traded with other tribes for goods of some sort? What if women simply ate different food from the men and that food was traded from distant parts (like imported soy versus local milk)? The possibilities are as endless as the imagination.

      Wonder what would happen if these researchers analyzed teeth dug up in the Caribbean Islands or the State of Mississippi or, God forbid, present day New York?

      Of course once a man claimed a good cave, why would he give it up if he didnt have to? The reason the women came from all over is simple…

      The men left their cave once a year to go capture women from other caves, then they returned to their castle. Duh.

      captainkook may have once been an ape, but,

      as for me and my house, God made us in his image.

      We did not evolve from some monkey.

      Duh!! did anyone consider that these women were slaves captured in battle for territory – kill the males and keep the women for breeding – or is that not PC for you?

      BACKTOOT!

      You said I could not prove anything I had said ( or wrote about)? I mentioned a few things but I will address one! Go to you tube and simply look up ‘ man made synthetic cell ’!!
      A bacterium has been made with DNA that has never existed before( at random ) and has successfully replicated! Creationist have said this is impossible,now that you will know it is,,,,,,,,

      I look forward to your apology!

      Australopithecus or Paranthropus. These species occurred in the Plio-Pleistocene(More Recent) era, and were bipedal and dentally similar to humans, but brain size not much larger than modern apes, and lacking characteristics of the genus ****. There not even Human.. We lived along side them and habilis but theres no link between us, nor is there any Dna or other solid Evidence why were even in the catagory, they probably all went extinct because **** Sapians Killed them in there caves. I guess you could say theres a link between all animals and Humans but i even question that considering 20% or more of our DNA is unexplained not found on earth (Alien).. Lets face it Were Man not monkeys even tho they so much want to believe it I think we need to go back to our prehistoric Human Killing the cave ape days and rid these monkeys out of the white house.

      Bear,

      Okay, I went overboard in my blanket statement, I apologize :-)

      Now that they have come up with a synthetic cell, will it replicate itself and become a living creature, able to live and function on it’s own, procreate and exhibit a worthwhile design? Or will it just sit there in its artificial environment producing nothing?

      Neither one of us will know that answer,it would take hundreds of millions of years! And if there is a God,,I would love to see the tree he makes out of it! Personally I think this is Dangerous Science at the moment,,,I can only imagine the deadly knew Viral weapons that could be developed and until the race of mankind is more peaceful,,,maybe this tech should be shelved! Apology accepted, thank you!

      This is a lie.

      Men have travelled the earth for hundreds of thousands of years before “cavemen” existed.

      We are much, much, much older than previously asserted. Try MILLIONS of years, possibly HUNDREDS of millions of years…
