Interesting. It makes me curious, was there no specialization at all then? If male and female humans always participated in all activities equally, wouldn't they end up evolving very similar traits?

Maybe it's a bit of a lazy explanation, but the hunting labor division sort of made sense to me, since throwing say a spear requires upper body strength, which is higher in males on average.
