The main idea of the paragraph is that women should be credited for much more during the prehistoric times that they are at the moment. We only get the picture of them being rather irrelevant at the time which is obviously not true, based on this excerpt. The paragraph is quite feminist, meaning that it is shedding light on actual history and the role of women in such a society which not much is spoken about in contemporary analyses.
They were the ones who invented gardening, as well as pottery and weaving. The reason why they did this was because they often stayed 'at home' taking care of children, so they had time to do other things as well, while men were out hunting and providing for the family in other ways. Thus we have solid proof that women were far more creative and responsible for various things than they are credited for now.

Answer:
First person point of view.
Explanation:
The first-person point of view illustrates the writing from the narrator's point of view or perspective with the use of the pronoun "I" or "We" contrary to a second or third person point of view that employs "you" or "They" as a pronoun. The narrator is the witness to the story who keeps an "eye" over the events or observes the series of events that carry the story. Thus, <em>"It's only fair" exemplifies the first person point of view as it employs "I" or "We" which is described from Avery's point of view.</em>
