Did division of labour exist during the prehistoric times?

Answer: The early man was a hunter and a gatherer. He also made stone tools and painted on cave walls. Till now it is not really known whether division of labour existed during this time. However, there are at least two presumptions:

1. It is presumed that both men and women might have done many of these things together.
2. At the same time, it is also possible that women did some tasks while others were done only by men.

Moreover, different parts of the subcontinent must have followed different practices.
