I generally disagree, but my specialty is not Neolithic people's nor hunter gathers. I'm pulling in mostly my general coursework, but as I was taught the skeletal evidence points otherwise.

If you're relying on any studies using modern hunter gatherer groups as an analog that's largely been discounted through skeletal comparison.

You misunderstood, all humans have the potential for that level of bone density. It is lifestyle determined. Basically as your muscles pull on your bone, particularly in childhood through early adulthood, your bone mass increases. The more physical labor you do the more your bone mass increases.

So prehistoric hunter gathers had higher bone densities on average than contemporary farmers. And more than most modern humans. Not because our bodies changed, but because our activities did.

Of course all of these averages are on distribution curves. The exercise bit was a joke since the only modern people with close to the same bone density would be athletes

Given our knowledge and power over things, yes. Absolutely.

Yes, but that would be communism, which killed more people than nazism, so it's diarrhea forever for everyone not already a billionaire.

As to the last paragraph, I said the opposite, that farmers were subjugated in a way the tribal hunter gatherers were not.

You can talk better or worse, but for a lot of people, life is hell right now. More than you may know. The people building you phones for instance. Or making your clothes. Or most of your other cheap bullshit we used to make here with union labour.

Being nomadic hunter/gatherers was so amazing, we invented subsistence agriculture just to get away from it. And people would abandon subsidence agriculture in favour of a career as a beggar/day laborer.

So yeah, have fun going back to that.

As is the case now.

Are you free, really? Free to do what? To live as you please? To do what you please?

Let’s see. How do you live? What does your freedom amount to?

You depend on your employer for your wages or your salary, don’t you? And your wages determine your way of living, don’t they? The conditions of your life, even what you eat and drink, where you go and with whom you associate, — all of it depends on your wages.

No, you are not a free man. You are dependent on your employer and on your wages. You are really a wage slave.

The whole working class, under the capitalist system, is dependent on the capitalist class. The workers are wage slaves.

So, what becomes of your freedom? What can you do with it? Can you do more with it than your wages permit?

Can’t you see that your wage — your salary or income — is all the freedom that you have? Your freedom, your liberty, don’t go a step further than the wages you get.

The freedom that is given you on paper, that is written down in law books and constitutions, does not do you a bit of good. Such freedom only means that you have the right to do a certain thing. But it doesn’t mean that you can do it. To be able to do it, you must have the chance, the opportunity. You have a right to eat three fine meals a day, but if you haven’t the means, the opportunity to get those meals, then what good is that right to you?

So freedom really means opportunity to satisfy your needs and wants. If your freedom does not give you that opportunity, than it does you no good. Real freedom means opportunity and well-being. If it does not mean that, it means nothing.

That's the thing, you'd only be spending the same small percentage of time vs location trying not to die (as per Palestine or Ukraine, or your country if 9/11 or WW3). Lifestyle would have most of the rest covered, same as trying not to die now. History & Wildlife documentaries only cover the most exciting parts. If nature was like that all the time, nothing could live.

So you could listen to a story (with your community), play a game (with your community), or watch the community drama.

The big misery is the healthcare being varying degrees of a guessing game, and extremely low levels of convenience. You can't just walk 15 minutes, grab a handful of berries, a steak, and a potato then go fuck off with (some) family and ignore everyone else.

I disagree if you are claiming being a hunter gatherer was worse than being a farmer. As do a lot of archeologists. For the reasons I already stated.

Farmers are at the mercy of the rulers of that region. They can't just leave. They become slaves.

Maybe we'd see more caveman reenacting if mammoth burgers were a possibility
