Honestly, I'm not entirely sure what these blog posts are supposed to consist of. Today I read the remainder of Chapter One of Ways of the World.  The chapter focused almost entirely on agriculture, which was not, personally, very interesting. The chapter focused on the emigration of the homo sapiens from Africa into the surrounding areas and them learning to cultivate and domesticate plants and animals. While these developments are very impressive and a grand achievement that have lead to the life we are able to live today, they are not very interesting to read about. The most interesting part of the reading, in my opinion, was the portion that focused on Nissa's account of Paleolithic people and how Hunters and Gatherers live. I thought it was interesting because instead of being a subjective account of how an anthropologist thinks the Paleolithic people lived, Nissa's account is almost a direct account of how they lived in the past as she has lived the same way as they did for the entire duration of her life. I especially thought that it was interesting when she talked about marriage in her community. I thought it was interesting because it was quite different to marriage in our own society, but at the same time it was still quite similar. I thought it was interesting that the women were able to leave their husbands as they saw fit, because while it is legally permitted in today's society, it is still extremely frowned upon. There were other similarities and differences (such as building the "marriage hut"), but that was the one that was, personally, the most striking.
