Hypothesis
Women will hunt when it involves low-risk game surrounding the camp, with the help of dogs, or group-hunting.
Note
The authors highlight that, in many societies, dogs are an important contributor to women hunting but not a sufficient condition. This is because there are societies with dogs without evidence of women hunting.
