Has anyone else wondered about hunter-gatherers, our ancestors, lives and wondered if they were brutish, short and hard or if they were fairly prosperous? This has been on my mind for a long time now and I am finally diving in and doing the research and learning as much as I can about it. I am hoping to push out an essay sometime soon about this.

Thanks! I signed up for neocities around the time when it was announced and memory-holed it for the longest time. I've only been active recently.

I finally got to see a red-headed woodpecker! I posted the picture yesterday. Unfortunately he was very high up in a tree and did not stick around long so I did not get a very good picture. But that made my entire day as they are fairly rare. I hope you all enjoy the picture (I recommend looking up a better picture to see one of the many beautiful woodpeckers).

pretty sure that hunter-gatherers worked less and lived far less stressful lives than civilized humans, but that applies even to peasants which were most humans up to the modern era.
You would be surprised how little farmers and peasants gained vs how much they lost up until fairly recently when things improved.
