The Hunting Man: Revisited In 1966, a group of approximately fifty anthropologists met in Chicago for a conference that would later be known as the "Hunting Man" meeting . The meeting contrasted with previous studies and presented a Hollywood approach to the theme of primitive man, in which our ancestors were strong, powerful and in control of their environment. Anthropologists Sherwood L. Washburn and C. S. Lancaster (1968), both present at the conference, stated that "our intellect, interests, emotions, and basic social life are all evolutionary products of successful hunting adaptation." The book Man the Hunter that emerged from the conference forced a reevaluation of human subsistence strategies and the role of the hunter in human society. Although the idea of ​​man as hunter, and therefore exclusive provider, was initially disproven when it was shown that humans also relied on scavengers and were actually hunted, the theory retains its relevance in modern anthropology. The theory itself prompted researchers to challenge previous assumptions about women's roles in society and helped develop the hunter-gatherer theory of sex that remains in place today. Importantly, while the original Hunter Man thesis was innovative because it challenged scientific communities' previous belief in a primitive and weak ancient man, modern researchers have built on the Hunter Man thesis and now debate the motivations behind men to hunt. . While our human ancestors may not have been the strong, bloodthirsty killers once imagined by Raymond Dart, new studies by modern anthropologists have revived this famous but once-discarded theory. The authors who contributed to the text Man the Hunter (1968) concluded, “to affirm the...... center of the paper...... from a more balanced perspective. Given the importance of the theory and its effect on how modern humans view our ancestral past, the studies themselves have highlighted the depth of cultural biases that can influence scientific findings. The male-dominated research of the 1960s produced an image of the ancestral man resembling a comic book superhero, large, muscular and dominant. In response, women's literature of the 1970s and 1980s discredited these ideas and placed an emphasis on the female forager in early society. Similarly, modern research has attempted to distance itself from the biases of the past, but even today hypotheses find their way into research. While the hunter-man theory may not be front-page news in this modern era, today's research addressing our past from a more scientific approach appears to have restored credibility to the once-obfuscated model..
