For years we've understood that in the prehistoric hunter-gather world, the men did the hunting and the women did the gathering.

Dan is joined by Thomas Cirotteau, co-author of the book Lady Sapiens: Breaking Stereotypes About Prehistoric Women to unearth a new understanding of our origins.
Produced by Beth Donaldson and mixed by Dougal Patmore
