Abstract in brief

Understanding gendered economic roles helps explain how different genders utilize space, which is important for studying foraging behavior, social organization, and cognition.
A study of the Hadza foragers using GPS tracked 2,078 person-days reveals that men travel further, explore more, and take more complex paths than women, highlighting a significant gender difference in spatial behavior.
This research suggests that the division of labor between genders in hunting and gathering may have evolved alongside distinct differences in how males and females navigate and use their environment.
