Applications: (1) Sexual Division of Labor (Evolutionary Perspective): According to the hunting hypothesis women are preoccupied with pregnancy and dependent children and so do not hunt because it is dangerous and less profitable. Gisjbert Stoet highlights the fact that men are more competent in throwing skills, focused attention, and spatial abilities, however, he debunks the idea that women gather for they have better spatial abilities for in his research he is found that men are in fact better at visual search and gathering (Experiments 1 and 2). Stoet offers the explanation that sexual division of labor was not the result of the connection between memory and gathering, but a result of men's superior hunting abilities so women turned to gathering to fill the occupational gap. Another possible explanation for women gathering is their inherent prioritization of rearing offspring, which is difficult to uphold if women were hunting
