Subject: As ancient farming developed, so did cooperation — and violence
|
I believe much similar occured in Europe as agriculture spread along river valleys. Archaeologists uncover a Neolithic massacre in early Europe I also wonder how about nature of interations with surrounding roving hunter gatherers. Survivalists and preppers take note that idlyic garden Eden it wasn't... The growth of agriculture led to unprecedented cooperation in human societies, a team of researchers, has found, but it also led to a spike in violence, an insight that offers lessons for the present. A new study out today in Environmental Archaeology by collaborators from UConn, the University of Utah, Troy University, and California State University, Sacramento examines the growth of agriculture in Eastern North America 7,500 to 5,000 years ago, and finds that while the domestication of plants fostered new cooperation among people, it also saw the rise of organized, intergroup violence. |
