Hypothesis
Women will hunt when there are fewer cultural restrictions with the use of hunting technology.
Note
Cultural restrictions with the use of hunting technology, like using certain tools and hunting some animals, were present in half of the cases. However, this does not mean women were not hunting, since they used alternative tools or performed other roles important for hunting success.
