Of course no one can say with any accuracy about who provided the
"vast majority" of a tribe's food.  But let's say the premise is
correct, that men hunted and women gathered: it would seem pretty
clear that women gathered berries, roots, nuts, and leafy greens,
but not grains.  Or am I mistaken, that grains don't grow wild
and without human cultivation, at least not in any abundance?
