Porn for @Glossophiliac75 RT @hbdchick: @akarlin88 http://hbdchick.wordpress.com/2013/10/30/renaissances/ … << just some speculation. (^_^)
@Glossophiliac75 @akarlin88 same thing happened in slavic societies - up until much more recently.

-
@hbdchick@akarlin88 They spent less time in social settings than the denizens of Mediterranean or Mideastern villages. -
@Glossophiliac75@akarlin88 so did the mongolians. -
@hbdchick@akarlin88 Well, Mongolians weren't farmers at all. -
@Glossophiliac75@akarlin88 they were pastoralists. pre-christian germanics were mostly pastoralists (cattle), too. -
@hbdchick@akarlin88 Germanics, Slavs, Finns, Celts had a mixed farmer/pastdrialist economy. Unlike the Mongols they lived in one place. -
@Glossophiliac75@akarlin88 germanics, i mean. the finns and slavs *really* moved on: slash-and-burn. -
@hbdchick@akarlin88 And as I remember reading about the medieval Novgorod Republic, the bulk of the population lives in one-family -
@Glossophiliac75@akarlin88 well that's post-christianity. - 2 more replies

@hbdchick@akarlin88 They sometimes gathered at "things", veches, etc. to settle disputes and plan military operations. -
@Glossophiliac75@akarlin88 and they got together ca. every four years to redistribute lands w/in the kindred. and prolly a lot more...
