Agriculture and its consequences (shitty copper) were a disaster for the human race 😔

The anthropologist David Graeber argued that agriculture was picked up and dropped repeatedly by societies for the entirety of the 3,000 year "agricultural revolution," as hunting/gathering was a much easier way to get those needed calories.

There are megalithic sites created wholly by hunter/gatherer societies; the deep human past is a fascinating time.

Many indigenous societies plant the seeds where they originally found the plant, which works great because that's where the conditions that suit it are and it is surrounded by other pants it has symbiotic relations with.

In some ways far more efficient than clearing and tilling large areas of soil, potentially digging irrigation ditches, weeding it, keeping animals out, and waiting beside it for the better part of a year.

Now I'm wondering if Ea Nasir was the first documented shithead. Like, I'm sure there were shitty people before him, but do we have any direct evidence of their individual existence?

The Aboriginal peoples of Australia noticed this and said “nah, we’re good”.
