Another pre-assumption was the handprints in cave art of hunting scene was all male. One man thinking against the norm proved that some were female. Yet again, a theory absent of a time machine to prove correct, decided the females may have partisapated as a substitute pack animal to carry the hunters kills.
How can one not blame man for the ills of the world when the female hasn't been an equal in shaping the civilized society. They didn't walk in a man's shadow. There role was relegated as a reproductive vessel and to serve their unfettered wants.
Mankind has a long way to go to scrap several millennia of the human psyche that height and muscle mass equates superiority, no different than race, in all things human related.
Will we ever get there? There are still other hurdles to overcome such as race and class. So the odds are against mankind in the next hundreds of years, if we are still here. We have had several thousands of years to make a course correction but instead has a large world population wanting to roll back the minuscule progress to retain the status quo.
Exactly. The handprint debate is another example of the same issue: evidence gets filtered through expectation. The point isn’t to replace one oversimplified story with another, it’s to stop treating ‘male by default’ as neutral science.

thanks for sharing! hopefully scientists will examine their biases moving forward
I’m always hopeful and I think it is getting better. Thank you for watching.
