    I doubt the teacher really believed this, and they were likely striving to just open their students’ minds to the idea that most innovations are probably assumed to be made by men

      The point would be a lot more impactful if they didn’t make up a story to support their position.

        This is a class on anthropology, the point was to challenge the assumptions made when interpreting artifacts/history with little context. No one made anything up lol

      Why not use a real and confirmed example, then? Because they do exist.

      Making a story up - such that it can be actively undermined - certainly does the job poorly at best, and actively hurts the objective at worst.
