Re: PA's biggest misassumption





The point is that hunting and gathering doesn't require
much in the way of intellect, language, social skills,
etc. So even if we do envision them hunting and gathering
there must be something more to their lifestyle than just
this or these abilities (intellect, language, social
skills, etc.) would not have evolved.
