Intrigued by the idea of living a longer, happier, and healthier life? The secret may lie in our ancestral past! A fascinating piece by Nicholas Bourne in The Conversation reveals how adopting aspects of a hunter-gatherer lifestyle could drastically improve our health.

These are the latest reference sheets I made for the three leading ladies from my next upcoming novel Women of the Plains, the first draft of which I have recently completed. The story takes place in eastern Africa around 100,000 years ago, with the characters all representing ancestral Homo sapiens prior to the "Out of Africa" migrations a few tens of millennia later. Oja, the woman on the far left, would be the story's protagonist while Uru and Namak are her besties. When Oja gets separated from their nomadic hunter-gatherer band after a hunting accident, she discovers a new land and another people with a very different way of life while her friends go out looking for her.

Distracting the Distraction

Emerging from the Labyrinth to Find Focus. Ah, my dear chum, let me regale you with a tale of my past three decades, a merry dance of distraction and misadventure amidst the labyrinth of life’s appointments and commitments. Picture if you will, a soul adrift in the vast sea of psycho-somatic ponderings, unable to tether oneself to the task at hand. For thirty long years, I’ve been a wanderer in…

Reimagining Prehistoric Women: New Study Challenges Traditional Gender Roles

A newly published study challenges the long-held belief that women in prehistoric times were limited to domestic tasks. Research suggests prehistoric women actively participated in hunting and were better equipped for physical activities. This groundbreaking research unveils the contributions of women in labor and sustenance throughout human history.

"Ortega has grasped that essential human nature is inseparable from the hunting and killing of animals and that from this comes the most advanced aspects of human behaviour. Intelligence in our species is a highly specialized function by which natural selection built the hunter's capacity to plan on the intensely social foundation of primate ancestry. The emergence of such complex functions as the unconsciousness, of language, and of dreams are inextricably part of the Paleolithic. Ortega does scorn but affirms this past."

Paul Shepard, in the Introduction to Ortega e Gassett's "Meditations On Hunting"

Chronic food shortages and scarcity-based economies are artifacts of social systems that arose with farming. In his introduction to Limited Wants, Unlimited Means, Gowdy points to the central irony: “Hunter-gatherers…spent their abundant leisure time eating, drinking, playing, socializing—in short, doing the very things we associate with affluence.”

Despite no solid evidence to support it, the public hears little to dispute this apocalyptic vision of prehistory. The sense of human nature intrinsic to Western economic theory is mistaken. The notion that humans are driven only by self-interest is, in Gowdy’s words, “a microscopically small minority view among the tens of thousands of cultures that have existed since Homo sapiens emerged some 200,000 years ago.” For the vast majority of human generations that have ever lived, it would have been unthinkable to hoard food when those around you were hungry. “The hunter-gatherer,” writes Gowdy, “represents uneconomic man.”

Humans are the Problem

The very things that we evolved to help us become the most dominant species on the planet are the very things that are killing us now. Find out why we can't have nice things and maybe never will. How are we worseing our problems?

Will the 7-2 SCOTUS Split Grab You by the Pussy? It has been a momentous week in a turbulent year that followed an alarming pandemic during an ominous assault on our democracy, hasn’t it? It would be easy to follow in the footsteps of Young Werther given all this merde raining down on us. If that’s where you’re at, then mayhaps you should give this blog post a miss and skip straight to rating,…

And while it’s a common belief that humans are “meant” to have babies young, since American girls can start puberty at as early as age eight, this may be a modern illusion. Hunter-gatherers still inhabit the type of environment that we all evolved in way back when, and studies suggest that most girls exposed to these more natural conditions and (especially) diets don’t even begin to menstruate until their mid to late teens.

A recent study has revealed a startling truth: the arrival of the first farmers 5,900 years ago led to the near extinction of the hunter-gatherer population within just a few generations.

Contrary to the previously believed peaceful transitions, this shift was marked by violence and the introduction of new diseases.

Prompt 268

Fright Knight sighs, running a clawed hand through his hair in an attempt to stop the flames from flickering into being. It had been far too long since he had taken a human-ish form. His human-ish form. Ugh. He didn’t exactly care for his human form after so long as a ghost, but needs must he supposed. 

Especially with the whole, we’re going to punch a backdoor into the literal daycare part of the Infinite Realms and be surprised when literal toddlers go exploring. 

Well, at least it got him off of guard duty for a bit, which was relieving. Not that he didn’t love the darkness, but it got boring in the shadow of his sword for literal centuries with nothing else happening. He was a warrior for Realm’s sake! Borderline an Ancient in both power and age! He wasn’t meant to stay so still for so long. 

So while ghostling wrangling wasn’t exactly in his area of expertise, he could definitely gather them back up to the Realms. And deal with the curs who had decided to attack literal babies. 

The Daycare area was already understaffed due to just how large it was, and the one in charge of this section had practically sobbed to the Council (In another world they would have been put on hold for a century in line for their concerns, and then more once a Sarcophagus was opened, but they had told the other ghosts in distress, causing others to let them go up in said line) how they were almost certain they had felt at least one core form Outside the realms thanks to the breach. 

Which had understandably put everyone at an uproar. 

So here he was slipping between shadows to do reconnaissance and take stock of if any Ghostlings had left the city. And gently scruffing those he comes across in exasperation because what are you doing, ghostling? Look at the mess, what would your caretaker say?

Mesolithic Harpoon Head, 4500 BCE, Stewartry Museum, Kirkcudbright, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland

This is a 6500 year old harpoon made from a Red Deer antler and found in the River Dee. It is of a similar type of harpoon to those found in Mesolithic caves or rock shelters near Oban. This piece has been carbon dated to around 4500 BCE.
