The fact that we see this disparity between the sexes means that this wasn’t a disease based takeover like it was in the Americas.
If I was slaughtering the hunter gatherers I would only kill the males, the females would make good wives for my new settled civilisation. And giving the men wives would enable the civilisation to maintain stability (incels will stab up the longhouse)
