When we observe foraging societies, we can observe a great deal of gender inequality, as George Murdock contends.

Foraging Societies

Communities or social groups that rely on wild food resources for their subsistence, typically through hunting, fishing, and gathering.

Gender Inequality

The societal imbalance where rights, opportunities, and status are unequally distributed between genders, often leading to disadvantages for women and gender non-conforming individuals.

George Murdock

An American anthropologist known for his work on family and kinship structures, and for defining the concept of the nuclear family.
