Amusingly, believers assert that our evolved tendencies to attribute agency to inanimate objects and defer to authorities real or perceived -is- some sort of basis for morality, today.
In most early societies, women provided the food. Hunting was never that successful beyond tiny populations, and agricultural work fell on the shorter gender with more endurance and better wide field vision. Men "protected" women about like a lion "protects" his pride. We can determine this based on patterns of wear and damage in bones and teeth. Still a snapshot in time, ofc. If you dial the clock back we appear to have been decidely more egalitarian in workload..and if you dial it forward men did less hunting and showboating and more heavy labor. All of this ignores any cultural or regional difference, which often enough reverse gender roles compared to immediate neighbors or any arbitrarily constrained norm in time.
There's literally nothing "stereotypically male", or female, for that matter, that you can;t quickly find a complete 180 on somewhere. Much of our size difference (and conformity), in general, is inherited from ancestors well before humans.
