I'm not educated on which sex would have truly had a better chance, and not totally concerned with it. Mostly concerned with illustrating more clearly the parent posters point.

My assumption is men did more hunting and women gathering, and that in a starvation scenario, known gathering food sources would have been exhausted.

Sorry for any Paleolithic women I may have offended with my post!

ah, ignorance is bliss, except when you're naturally selected away by implicit biases that lead to poor decisions.

no need to worry about paleolithic women, they were probably less fragile and better survivalists in comparison.

Wouldn't doubt it!
