Sexual division of labour shapes hunter-gatherer spatial ranges

2025-04-20

Abstract excerpt

Mobility lies at the adaptive core of the hunter-gatherer foraging niche, and has shaped the cultural and genetic evolution of our species. Yet, the specific drivers and consequences of mobility are still debated. Here we analyse the lifetime mobility patterns of 776 Mbendjele BaYaka hunter-gatherers from five regions in the northern Republic of Congo, revealing pronounced gender differences in spatial behaviour....
