@ghost_bird Hah. Hunter is noble/predator. Gatherer is peasant/prey. Humanity can kill anything, therefore we were hunters before farmers, QED.

THAT is why I think hunter-mythology dominates the narrative.

That and we didn't start farming until 6,000 BC(*), before then we just followed the herds(**).

When in truth, we're opportunistic eaters. With a penchant for tipping the scales in our favor.

(*) not actually true, but we spent decades teaching that line.
(**) just as wrong.
