I love reading about and talking to hunter-gatherers.  I've hung out with some of the Guaymi in Costa Rica. They do farm rice, but they also hunt and gather as well.  It's eye-opening, to say the least.

Yes, good stuff. Thanks Jessica.

But "What the Hadza appear to offer—and why they are of great interest to anthropologists—is a glimpse of what life may have been like before the birth of agriculture 10,000 years ago." Not necessarily so - I think that paleoman was diverse - note the squared and carven stones at Gobekli Tepe, erected 10,000 years ago.

And that zerocurrency.blogspot.com is a good read too.
