I wanna be a hunter-gatherer =)

The notice that I choose, speaks us about the hunter-gatherer’s style life. According to the author, these populations lived in Europe before 6000 years ago (and I must add that in some places still are hunters-gatherers as Amazonas). In the notice we can read some features of this kind of population as its “love” of free- living, and the respect that this persons had (and has) for the environment =).
Besides, the author speaks about of the resulting changes of leaving this style-life. When the hunters-gatherers incorporated the agriculture they missed their mobility. For this reason the humans began to have more diseases, and the population concentrated in small places…this is the first step for the beginning of the pollution ¬¬ (because the trash began to accumulate and this type of things). Obviously these things not affected them immediately (well, this changes transformed the population’s culture and worldview), but today we can see the consequences of the horrible act to incorporate the agriculture xD. I have always thinked that the humans became farmers was the worst thing that it could occur (it was the bad seed xD), because whit this the differences between the humans increased…and then appeared the social classes and all the history that we know =P. I do not say that the hunters-gatherers do not have differences between them, there are different roles but not in the same manner as we understand…
I consider important this notice, because the author shows a way that archaeology can be useful for the present people not only in scientific aspect. The author calls to pay attention in like this population cared the environment and respected the other living beings =).
