In 1985, Hockett proposed that hunter-gatherers would have had a hard time making "f" and "v" sounds because of their edge-to-edge bite, in which the teeth come together at the front of the mouth and meet evenly.
|
|
When researchers analyzed human DNA preserved in the 5,700-year-old birch pitch, they found that the individual who chewed on it was a female, who was more closely related to hunter-gatherers from continental Europe than those from central Scandinavia.

"The fact that a lullaby, healing song or dance song from the British Isles or anywhere else in the world has many musical features in common with the same kind of song from hunter-gatherers in Australia or horticulturalists in Africa is remarkable," Glowacki said.
|

The tribe that suffered this latest atrocity is known as the flecheiros — or Arrow People — a seldom-glimpsed group of hunter-gatherers living in extreme isolation inside the Javari Valley indigenous land, one of a dozen reserves in the Amazon that are home to uncontacted indigenous populations.
|
|
A bit later, descendants of those same cave-dwellers — a band of genial, not-too-bright hunter-gatherers in a verdant valley near what is now Manchester, England — coexisted uneasily with a more aggressive and arrogant breed of humans, who mastered metallurgy, stadium-building and sports commentary.

Imagine how life might have changed for a group of hunter-gatherers living thousands of years ago in the Near East who came into contact with and eventually adopted the "Neolithic package" — the combination of crops and livestock, and the technology to manage them, necessary for full-blown agriculture.
|
|
The idea that hunters and gatherers and foragers were living hand to mouth and one day away from starvation is nonsense, even for those in pretty marginal areas where there is less access to natural migrations of fish and animals and the fruiting seasons of trees and so on.

The lives of females "tend to be longer and less variable" in length than the lives of males ... Second, the difference in life span between the people living industrial societies and those living in hunter-gatherer societies was greater than the difference between the hunter-gatherers and the nonhuman primates.

Everything all of the timeOne of the main reasons RSS is so beloved of news gatherers is that it catches everything a site publishes—not just the articles that have proved popular with other users, not just the articles from today, not just the articles that happened to be tweeted out while you were actually staring at Twitter. Everything.

That evidence of successive waves of human settlement begins with hunter-gatherers who pursued mammoths and mastodons here some 12,953 years ago, as the last ice age receded, and on through the inflows and ebbs of cliff dwellers who occupied the area until around 1300 A.D. Much of that span is on view even to casual, astonished visitors like us.
