Waterhole Economies

<h3><strong style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Pre-agriculture hunter-gatherer economies were waterhole economies and were the only human economies that never collapsed.</strong></h3><p></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Ninety-seven percent of the time </span><em style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Homo sapiens</em><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)> lived on Earth or until about 12000 years ago all peoples were foragers of wild food living a type of subsistence lifestyle in economies that relied on hunting and fishing animals foraging for wild vegetation and other nutrients and converging around waterholes to slake their thirst. Their economies required a daily pursuit and collection of wild foods to make a living collecting numerous species over whose reproduction and sustenance they had no control.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>And yet they were the only human economies that persisted without collapse for 97 percent of our species' existence and somehow managed to do so for those 290000 years mostly without ravaging the planet's habitats and ecosystems and destroying its biodiversity nor threatening the pre-agriculture hunter-gatherer societies that relied upon them to make a living with risks of a potential extinction the way twenty-first century economies are threatening humans today.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>It bears asking (don't you think?): Is there something our pre-agriculture hunter-gatherer forebears knew about how to make a living and survive on this Earth without destroying its ecosystems and biodiversity that Neolithic Revolution through twenty-first century humans notwithstanding all our accumulated knowledge science technologies innovations and supposed superiority - still don't get? Clearly the answer must be yes. But what?</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Join me in exploring what modern humans may have forgotten.</span></p><p></p>
