> EDIT: To expand - it is useless to speculate on psychology in an evolutionary context, because we have precisely 0 observation supported models of what anything was like many thousands of years ago. We do however have plenty of evidence that a lot of modern narrative was constructed to suit the current gender roles.

Really? I thought that anthropologists studied remote tribe in e.g. the Amazon basin in order to gather exactly this type of data?

There's very few uncontacted tribes, and more importantly, uncontacted tribes themselves are outliers to the general human population.

They also tend to defy most evopsyche gender stereotyping anyway because they're totally different cultures with wildly different understandings of things.
