They also pursued large mammals, made tools and jewelry, built homes, and explored forms of symbolic expression. Archaeological remains show that Neanderthal women used spears; thanks to DNA analysis, we know that some skeletons buried with their weapons belonged to robust young women who hunted, and their artistic intervention on cave walls is also attested. Nor is there any indication that, in Paleolithic societies, a period spanning hundreds of millennia, women were considered inferior and subordinate to men. Why, then, does the image spread by the first prehistorians in the 19th century persist?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne only needs to go back in time to understand that gender hierarchy is based solely on prejudices that urgently need to be deconstructed.
