Hunter-gatherers, Human Diet, and Our Capacity for Cooperation | Alyssa Crittenden | TEDxUNLV 

They are seldom bored. A truly happy life filled with adventure.

Thank you, Dr. Alyssa! 🎨🎵👋

!!!!! excellent!!!!

Q observation WE'RE DOING THE EXACT SAME THING TODAY! Schools, daycare, after school care, babysitting. Women gathering food (grocery stores and gardening) Men "bring home the bacon 🥓" throw a bbq party on game day! Children help out (sometimes) Q

very informative in contrast to the recent meat only craze

Hadza would eat more meat if there was more food to hunt but the other tribes around them have blocked them off because of farming

02:22 “So how do moms do it?” Scientists moved on to alternate quantum realities because this question was too hard...

The hadza are a pretty extreme case. They live in a very hostile environment where as most huntergathers lived in less hostile areas.

I don t even get what the point is

I am an historian and a linguist. I do appreciate Dr. Crittenden`s work, however the assumptions of time frames and dates of hundreds of thousands or millions of years in an evolutionary theory of scant fossil evidence has no relevance in this talk. There are a number of hunter gatherer societies on the earth, living on almost every single continent. We even see that many of our North and South American Native Tribes were and some still are hunter gatherers. This is not a throwback to the stone age. It is fine that Dr. Crittenden studies this, but why not look at the recorded history and take a look at the changes and effects upon societies and time frames that do not require that we put our faith in a theory of prehistoric man which is closer to a fantasy. I can lend my ear much easier to this discussion of primitive societies, but I do not feel that comparing them to "stone age" people is fair to them and their intelligence as human beings. Persons have left Amazonian primitive tribes, moved to advanced countries with anthropologists who discovered the tribes and lived just as normally in the new society as any other person. Just because these societies are organized as hunter gatherers does not mean they are a reflection of a supposed human existence before that of which we have recorded history--which is about 7000 years. Many anthropologists ask us to put all of our marbles on a theory which has not been proven, nor has anywhere near the kind of evidence necessary to be taken as a given. There are other good explanations which can explain how and why such primitive tribes came about. "Human Evolution" is not it. I just can`t buy it, a reliable Amount of evidence is simply not there. Too many scientists reach in wanting this to be true.

Stag or stack. What do you mean? The word I do not understand is not in the transcript.

Love her.🍷

She didnt learn that high heels are so bad for the feet

6:00 doggie yawn

We belong together.

I want to go live in a tribe and hunt and gather..

Idk man my mom can eat 3 lbs of meat in a sitting and I can do about 2. We eat mostly meat btw

So meat fruit honey and some dairy

Yeah, but she’s white, and thus is the offspring of ancestors that ate drastically more meat (even though I already question the low reported contribution of meat in the Hadza diet in this presentation), because, surprise surprise, all of these tropical plants and their starchy rhizomes and fruit occur much less in the north. Thus, meat is the most essential part of the human diet.

Very stretched point

It seems like she's basing too much off of one culture.

She made the talk all about the"mom" and community. Nothing about fathers or masculinity.
