Guest guest Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 finally reading The Omnivore's Dilemma; great stuff. Pollan writes: Anthropologists estimate that typical hunter-gatherers worked at feeding themselves no more than seventeen hours a week, and were far more robust and long-lived than agriculturists, who have only in the last century or two regained the physical stature and longevity of their Paleolithic ancestors. can anyone point me to these estimates and data? whenever i try to explain eating as humans did 10,000 years ago i get the classic " but they died really young too " rebuttal. be nice to have some hard info to stand on <g>. thanks much, oliver...
