@BoingBoing "... of the remains with an identifiable gender,..." You mean /sex/ here. This is mega important. Especially given the subject. -
@alisonatkin I think people say "gender" because "sex" is a naughty word. Most don't think more deeply than that. -
@RickCrawf Yeah, but BoingBoing isn't most people. -
@alisonatkin Although they seem to be most people on the sex/gender distinction.

@gypsybandito My theory: they were like dwarves of LOTR. Hard to tell the men from the women. Bearded & stout.

@BoingBoing they could have been ‘male’ but society wasnt cognizant of gender choice. Or boats were 50/50 & shield maidens were in the frayThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
