READING, WRITING

Missed 2 days on Saturday & Sunday, so I'm reading 180 seconds today.

SAPIENS author, Yuval Noah Harari, discusses the nature of war (and crime) in Sapiens societies 30K years ago.  Foragers likely fought each other over territory and food, but the evidence of such battles is only loosely conclusive:  they could have not sustained bone trauma, and still have been fighting and dying in battles (soft tissue trauma); other bone trauma might have been due to accident.  We just don't know for sure.

They "surveyed" pre-agricultural sapiens remains in NW America, Australia, and the Danube valley.  All 3 based their findings on 400 skeletons from times immediately preceding the Agricultural Revolution.  Harari concludes that there COULD have been war, but there also COULD have been famine & starvation due to natural disasters/weather changes, etc.

We just don't know.  But it's interesting to speculate.
