Blog 2
With the discovery of agriculture it the human race into a new era, the Neolithic era or the new stone age. I like to believe that the discovery in agriculture was a huge reason to why the human race not only survived but flourished. It allowed us to stay n one spot and we were then able to secure and supply this one spot, making a safe strong environment for its citizens. This sense of safety then allowed humans to use more of their mind and focus on different talents, so to speak, like art, farming, and building a more structured environment. The next interesting thing this chapter brought up at the end was Nissa's account. This account got me curious, because i didn't really know if i should really believe that paleolithic gatherer hunters really lived, because Nissa's tribe could of evolved over the many year. But still it is the closest thing we can get to these gatherer and hunter tribes. I did however find the concept of a egalitarian relationship to be incredible. Because the idea of no ego and community that appreciates the work of all its members equal sounds like a unreachable utopia to me. I think that because of the way the human race is today, it feed off jealousy, greed and ego, and i can only wish we could go back tot that simple egalitarian relationship, for the good of everybody.
