Lastly, food producers were outnumbering…

Dating back to around 10,000 years ago, the remains found on the shores of Lake Turkana in Kenya are also significant because they belong to a hunter-gatherer society rather than to settled agricultural peoples. Archeologists and anthropologists have long believed that because hunter-gatherer societies are relatively egalitarian, they are also less violent.

The article brings hunters and gatherers lifestyles to attention, which are prove to be healthier than farmers. He verifies this by using scientific evidence implemented by patheopathology and the Dickson Mounds. The progressivist and the revisionist…
