Figured out how you tell how happy a bunch of people who've been dead for 10,000 years were?

Oh, yeah, you make it up.
Like I wrote the article, you pinhead.

Have you ever studied ethnography or anthropology? There are still people living like that. They are much happier than the miserable North American bozos like you and the other sheeple.

The few that make it and don't die. Yes

There are many relative factors in this equation.

That is exactly what anthropology is. Speculation. Some of it done by self use of a speculum.
As I said, there are many, probably most, anthropologists who are as methodical and data based as the soft sciences can be.

Then there are clowns trying to put a gloss of "science!" on their agendae.

It's easy to tell 'em apart. Just look for the ones Silly Jack quotes.

Like I wrote the article, you pinhead.
I doubt you'd be capable of it, Silly Jack. We've all seen that your preferred method is re-publishing other people's lies.

We've also all seen your level of literacy.

Have you ever studied ethnography or anthropology?
Yes I have, unlike you. Unless you define reposting internet memes as "study."

There are still people living like that. They are much happier than the miserable North American bozos like you and the other sheeple.
Considering how much you hate North Americans, a body'd think you'd be happy they're so miserable.

There's no way you tell how happy people are. You can't even ask them. They will lie to you but more importantly lie to themselves.

For myself if some agricultural products contain mold or other toxins you could include a remedy (apple cider drink of the right proportion for a T-Bone steak) rather than have to dispose of all the 'bad product' and rotting fruit can always make booze of some sort. Having that known is better for the bottom feeders that have it crop up as an ailment with no known cause and is therefore un-treatable is unkind, telling them to live that they may have to wash their mouth out with soap after and that is what is what until a better method is found.

Everybody has buttons, the unhappy ones get their buttons pushed more than they push other people's buttons.

Prior to agriculture, humans lived happier, healthier, freer and easier lives, claims one of the world’s top scientists and thinkers. In an article published in Discover Magazine nearly 30 years ago, Pulitzer Prize winning anthropologist and evolutionary biologist Jared Diamond calls agriculture “a catastrophe from which we have never recovered.”



Diamond claims the domestication of plants and animals – which began around 10 to 15 thousand years ago – led to the eventual domestication of humans and is ultimately responsible for the “the gross social and sexual inequality, the disease and despotism that curse our existence.”
For approximately 2 million years prior to the advent of agriculture, gatherer-hunters enjoyed excellent health, social and sexual equality, very light workloads, plenty of leisure time and freedom from any form of government.

OF course. They all lived in the garden of eden. All 5 thousand of them. To the ripe old age of 25.

There is a theory out that Neanderthal had big bones because that is how our bones would look if we lived to be a few hundred years old.
That would put their roots as being in the ice-age and the change to this climate is something they could not endure so they slowly died out.

OF course. They all lived in the garden of eden. All 5 thousand of them. To the ripe old age of 25.
You spelled 250 wrong.

Happy has been pushed into our futures, we must be productive until we become innefficient and then we retire into this happy state the golden few minutes.

We invented agriculture because vegetables are easy to sneek up on, even the retired can catch them. Forgive the old people won't you Cliffy.

I am old and I sneak up on veggies so as not to traumatized them before I rip them out of the ground and throw them in boiling water. The stay nice and tender like that. I also try to sneak up on the conservative types because they are so paranoid and defensive but alas, they are so high strung they erupt in anger at the slightest provocation. It must be hard being them. Being domesticated has ruined them for life.
