LOL. If that song doesn't wake you to the horrors of the vegan movement, you would be totally heartless.
Hmmm. I think this has potential. :-)

Then when your neighbors are nice as prosperous you can go a-viking and take their stuff.

6 grasses would probably work as well. :^) Thanks CC.

I've always preferred Tull's version of "Cat's Squirrel" to that of Cream's -- in fact, I didn't know about Cream's version until I was almost 30 years old. :^)

Trade seems to have worked as well -- but better safety arrived with standing armies. A population has to be able to support their own defenders over and above what they need to support themselves.

I know a chick with a pitted face, although that was because she didn’t remove the air bag from her car before having an accident. As it is, it’s not terrible (looks wise, in her case), but still is life changing and DEFINITELY avoidable.

They ate all the meat. This is the stuff they threw out.

I thought maybe they’d found the unmarried womens’ hut.
Or, maybe it was the men who wished they were womens’ hut.

I think I misunderstood earlier.
What you’re saying is, this is bait for meat?

“This isn’t food, this is what food eats.” — Red Forman
This shows that there was agriculture earlier than previously thought. It’s often hard to get a firm idea, because a lot of materials (meat or not) doesn’t survive to be tested. It is known that woven fabrics and baskets were in use a really long time ago because they survived long enough to leave an impression on (for example) clay.

I think, maybe, Gobekli Tepe proves agriculture goes back even farther in some places.

In Mary Settegast’s “Plato Prehistorian” an RC date of a multirow barley sample from Anatolia came out at 14,000 BP, and that was the uncalibrated date, so, probably older than that. The oldest known traces of a prehistoric village consisting of postholes (at least used to be) in China dated (not RC, obviously) 800,000 years old. I’d guess that any settled living is both made possible by and greatly enhanced by at least some degree of agriculture.

Whoops, in the Settegast part of that, should have read that she cited that find, it wasn’t hers per se. [blush]
