Maybe. Women became slaves to the grind stone, health declined, and hierarchies established gender norms that lasted millennia. Birth rates improved, surpluses of food, and everything considered modern evolved from the agricultural revolution. Weighing it all-- it's hard to say whether this was revolutionary for women.

T0 15,000 BEFORE GENDERED CONSTRUCTSPaleo-anthropologists can track human evolution and migration in prehistory by using the remains of women. Such findings have provided some of the most important breakthroughs in our understanding of the past. Humans emerged as hunters and gatherers, and a specific gender dynamic evolved as groups learned to survive. However, there is a debate about whether in fact we can “see gender” in the archeological record and whether gender attribution is helpful for understanding gender relations in pre-history.
