"Hunter-gatherer" always seemed to me a male-filtered take on what might be better described as "foragers." Perhaps men prefer the image of their ancestors slaying mammoths to the image of them eating bugs?

I think this article is fascinating, though as I read it I feel it would be better if it also dealt with some of the positive aspects of Hunter-gatherer life in more detail (there were/are some health benefits, or so I understand).

Excellent, I’ve always rolled my eyes when the “farming has ruined people and the planet” argument gets rolled out.

Good article and a fair point. But I'd like to see a study that normalizes progress for average energy consumption per capita. What if "hunter-gatherers" had access to tecnology and power sources that "domesticated" humans take for granted?
-
But they wouldn't be hunter-gatherers if they did.
-
Granted, there's not much left to gather, let alone hunt. What I'm wondering is wether a sufficent energy density and tecnology would be good enough to keep people progressive, or would there always be a need for a large centralized government?
-
Technology and energy are run by large corps and charge money to use. Are hunter gathers going to lay cable? That would be the outside world providing that, to which they'd be beholden, just like us.

One single innovation separates modern society from hunter gatherers The specialization brought about by outsourcing. Trump people oppose outsourcing in doing so they oppose free enterprisepic.twitter.com/j1KAUJcZNX

The noble savage is alive and well it seems, at least in some circles. Although, I would guess that present day h-gs are not the most affluent in history

I was in the cult of Daniel Quinn at one time. Scary to think about it now.
