If you like what you read here, there\u2019s plenty more to check out in the guide!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-were-hunter-gatherer-foods-healthy\">Were Hunter-Gatherer Foods Healthy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There were a couple of reasons foragers were taller and healthier than Sapiens after the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/what-was-the-agricultural-revolution\/\">Agricultural Revolution<\/a>. One of them was hunter-gatherers&#8217; food choices.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-varied-diet-nbsp\"><strong>Varied Diet&nbsp;<\/strong><br><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Because early hunter-gatherers might eat berries, snails, and rabbit one day and mushrooms, fruits, and mammoth the next, they were rarely malnourished. They got all the nutrition they needed from the variety in their diets.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-less-disease\"><strong>Less Disease<\/strong><br><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from hunter-gatherers&#8217; food choices, many factors contributed to hunter-gatherer health. Many diseases afflicting Sapiens\u2019 descendants came from domesticated animals. Because their only domesticated animal was the dog, there was less opportunity for the spread of disease.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, hunter-gatherer populations were spread thinly across the land. Epidemics were uncommon. Later societies would live in close quarters and unhygienic environments, fueling the spread of dangerous epidemics.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from healthy hunter-gatherers&#8217; food choices, foragers had many advantages over their descendants.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-short-working-hours\"><strong>Short Working Hours<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s very possible that early hunter-gatherers spent much less time working to find food and resources. Many of them lived in lands much more fertile than the Kalahari Desert. They also didn\u2019t have the chores that take up our time today, like vacuuming, paying bills, and washing dishes.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-we-don-t-know-much-about-hunter-gatherers\"><strong>We Don\u2019t Know Much About <\/strong>Hunter-Gatherers<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Because foragers moved every week, sometimes every day, they had few personal possessions. They only had what they could carry themselves, without the aid of wagons or pack animals. Consequently, <strong>Sapiens during the period between the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/cognitive-revolution\/\">Cognitive Revolution<\/a> and the Agricultural Revolution left few artifacts.<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/maturity-continuum-7-habits\/\">Dependence<\/a> on the few artifacts discovered creates an incomplete and even misleading picture of our ancestors.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also hard to talk about how early Sapiens lived because there was no single way of life (as there isn\u2019t now). Still, attempting to piece together how our ancestors lived from 70,000 to 12,000 years ago can give us insight into our modern society.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-few-things-we-re-pretty-sure-of\"><strong>The Few Things We\u2019re Pretty Sure Of<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>There weren\u2019t many humans.<\/strong> The whole human population was smaller than the number of people living in Cairo today.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sapiens lived in bands of up to several hundred individuals.\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Neighboring bands cooperated, but also fought.<\/strong> Each band was likely independent. They traded with each other, but weren\u2019t dependent on each other for essentials like fruit and meat. They traded \u201cprestige items\u201d like shells and pigments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>There were no permanent homes, towns, or governments.<\/strong> Sapiens roamed back and forth across their territory, according to animal migrations and changes in the seasons. Fishing villages might be an exception.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>They ate broadly:<\/strong> hunter-gatherers&#8217; food choices included termites, berries, roots, rabbits, bison, and mammoth, among other foods.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>They had knowledge: <\/strong>There was little specialization of skills. <em>Everyone<\/em> needed to know how to make a knife, mend clothing, trap prey, escape lions, and heal snakebites. Sapiens in the forager period were some of the most skilled and informed people in history.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Hunter-gatherers&#8217; food choices were one reason these early Sapiens were relatively healthy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What were early hunter-gatherers&#8217; food choices?
