[QUOTE="LightningCrash, post: 1990708, member: 4278"] The hunter-gather spent around 2-3 hours a day collecting food. For those who gathered wheat this number was drastically lower. It wasn't intellectually demanding, quite the opposite. There are still hunter-gatherer cultures today. Does this mean they're geniuses? Somehow, the author thinks an Athenian from 1000BC is a hunter-gatherer. If you know anything about the Greek Dark Ages you know that they did have agriculture, and the population of Attica grew [b]too[/b] much during that time. There's this little gem:[b]"His argument is based on the fact that for more than 99 per cent of human evolutionary history, we have lived as hunter-gatherer communities surviving on our wits, leading to big-brained humans."[/b] Hey genius, 1% of 200,000 is 2,000. You're saying we've not even had an agriculture base for two thousand years? Dumbass. [/QUOTE]
