Their main source of hunting is through nets. In Hillary N. Fouts cross-cultural research, she had statistical data that supported the claim that different roles in foraging populations had an impact on the amount of time a father spent with their children. Fouts took different foraging populations in Africa and compared their type of hunting and the percentage of time these fathers were seen holding their child. Her first foraging group was the Aka population. They were a net hunting group that held their children aged 1–4 months 22% of the day, held their children 8–12 months 11.2% of the day, and held their children 13–18 months 14.3% of the day.<sup id="cite_ref-:52_7-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:52-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The other net hunting population was the Bofi.<sup id="cite_ref-:52_7-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:52-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> They had fathers hold babies aged from 36-47 and 48–59 months for 5.4% of the day.<sup id="cite_ref-:52_7-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:52-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In contrast, the foraging groups that participated in bow hunting had fathers hold babies for significantly less time.<sup id="cite_ref-:52_7-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:52-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The Hadza foraging population had fathers hold babies from the ages 0–9 months for only 2.5% of the day.
