Perhaps the
easiest comparison to be made
between women in the Paleolithic and Mesopotamian eras is that
they were both
responsible for the vast majority of child-raising. This is due to the work
distribution of the sexes. In the Paleolithic era, men were primarily focused on hunting
large
game, including giant woolly mammoths, which could provide enough food
for their tribe for weeks
or even months. In the ancient Mesopotamia era, men
were primarily farmers and would work
year-round in the fields due the fact
that there was always a growing season. Women would be
held primarily
responsible for raising children until they were old enough to help with
hunting
and gathering (in the Paleolithic) and farm
chores...
