I have read studies of contemporary hunter-gatherer societies that show they spend about 4 hours a week getting sustenance and have the rest of the time to "play"...danc, e song, various arts & crafts. Compare this to our so-called 'easy" shopping, where you drag home the stuff after driving there, shopping, checking out, returning home & putting it all away. Unless you bought frozen pizza, can you even eat?

@Druvius no, 4 hours a week!
@AnneWimsey It probably depends on what one is hunting and gathering.
@AstralSmoke and if you eat insects!
@AnneWimsey It'd take a lot of 'em.
@AstralSmoke locust hordes, anyone?
Interesting, an ongoing battle with 'bad' science.

Extremely interesting. It would be good to see some sort of rendering as to how and why they were used. Turkey has a lot of archeological sites. I was stationed there (Sinop) and my area was very old and full of history.

I saw a NG or History Channel program on this just the other day.
Fascinating!
