In my opinion is a very strange that HR is overwhelmingly female. It seems to me that many companies consider HR to be just administrative bureaucracy. Yet talent development and organizational psychology have been pioneered by male researchers and psychologists.

HR are administrative bureaucracy. They are neither expected nor trained to do anything with organizational psychology. Nor have power to change organization.

They do know some psychology, but more of tactical "how to calm this person right now".

Is that not just because women were not really involved in the field back then?

As recently as during the Spanish flu female nurses were an oddity.
