So bits of our genome have been inherited from individuals who we wouldn’t recognize as modern humans.”]]>Star.Ships human genomic genome sociology anthropology genealogyhttps://pinboard.in/u:thejaymo/b:7cf7f7511de4/The hunter-gatherers of the 21st century who live on the move | Aeon Essays2024-03-05T12:45:51+00:00

As we passed through it, we saw abandoned possessions and residences: spears, woven mats and baskets, and huts with only a few leaves remaining in their roofs.

thejaymoEons ago we lived our messy, imperfect, edge-case lives in a universe we couldn’t understand. And then we got numbers, and the numbers were so much help. How many oxen does the tax collector say we have? Five? Is the baby ox a whole ox? Is the ox dead? Is the ox near death? Five is not a perfect description, but the numbers help us distinguish our herd versus the neighbors. They help the state understand the limits of livestock in our area.
