From Hunter and Gathers to Agrian Society

To be honest, I did not like to study history or Western civilization, probably because the previous semester failed. In this semester I can learn a lot about hunter gatherings and land society. It really changed my viewpoint, I would like to know more. While participating in more courses, I gradually realized that the teaching method of university history is very different from the way I learned in high school.

Through the era of the Old Stone Age, humans usually lived as hunters of nomads. Hunting gatherings with abundant resources and sophisticated food storage techniques sometimes form a sedentary life with complex social structures such as chiefs and social stratification, but hunting meetings are very small and equality It tends to be. Long-distance contacts such as Australia's "highway" (sometimes called a song) may have been established. The Middle Stone Age started at the end of about 10,000 feet at the end of Pleistocene and ended with the introduction of agriculture The date of agriculture varies from region to region. In some areas such as the Middle East, the end of agriculture of Pleistocene has begun, but the Middle Stone Age is short, its definition is not clear. In areas where the impact of glaciers is limited, the term "epirepolis" is sometimes preferred.

Thousands of years ago, all human beings depended on hunting and gathering, not fostering their own food for livelihood. The number of hunter and collector communities is gradually decreasing. People who live in areas that are relatively inaccessible yet in the remote jungle or the Arctic. However, as often as they are eliminated and assimilated, they are interested in attracting them. The theory of the status of hunters and collectors in human history is contradictory. On the one hand, these groups are thought to occupy the bottom of the social evolution ladder. But others believe that they represent the original wealthy or leisure society. These theories are not important. They continue to reflect on the state and provide information about the behavior and policies of hunters and collectors.
