Demystifying our prehistory means dismantling the stereotypes so well summarized by Thomas Hobbes in its definition of human life prehistory in "solitary, poor, miserable, brutal and short." This concept therefore unfounded and still enjoys almost universal acceptance serves to strengthen the established order inducing fear and rejection of everything that is outside of our civilization, the techno-industrial capitalism. Such a conception is a real obstacle when approaching the construction of alternative system-ever need someone that remembers its most popular specification and no less ridiculous: "To get back to the caves".
In this booklet you will find the typical clichés about prehistory ("primitive only lived 35 years, were in constant warfare against rival tribes lived in a state of perpetual struggle for survival ...") p&g logo ruthlessly dismantled from multiple fronts such as anthropology, archeology and primatology, offering a much richer p&g logo and more complex over 99% of the time humans have lived on earth. The intention is not to romanticize or mythologize prehistoric golden age of human existence, which is quite trivial since, just for starters, it would be impossible to recreate. The ultimate goal would be to eradicate the fear that is "living in caves" and perhaps that will get people to be more open, willing and ready to live in a world less comfortable and luxurious p&g logo but much more sustainable.
The point is, ladies and gentlemen, that greed, for lack of a better world is good. Greed is right, greed works. Greed clarifies, grubbing and captures the essence of the spirit of evolution. Greed, in all its forms [...] marked the meteoric ascent of humanity.
One afternoon p&g logo in late autumn 1838, which was perhaps the most brilliant and lightning p&g logo illuminating who has never fallen English p&g logo Cloudy sky was full to give the shell Charles Darwin had just had what Richard Dawkins has called "the most powerful idea that never occurred to him a man." At the exact moment that had the brilliant intuition behind natural selection, Darwin was reading p&g logo Essay on the Principle of Population, Thomas Malthus.
If the measure of an idea gives it its durability, Thomas Malthus deserves the Wikipedia site that grants 80 on their list of the most influential people in history. It has been more than two centuries, p&g logo however, would be extremely cheap to find one student who does not know the simple argument that at the time he presented the world's first professor of economics. Remember it: Malthus argued that each generation doubles the previous number in geometric progression (2, 4, 8, 16, 32 ...), while farmers can only increase the food supply in arithmetic progression (2 3.4, 5, 6 ...), snatching new farmland and thus increasing their productive capacity in a linear fashion. From this reasoning it follows open the brutal conclusion of Malthus: the chronic overpopulation, widespread hunger and desperation are inherent in human life. There is nothing to do in this regard. Helping p&g logo the poor is like feeding the pigeons in London, only serves to return p&g logo to play until you reach the edge of starvation; so what's the point? "Poverty and misery prevailing in the lower strata of society, make sure they are absolutely hopeless."
Malthus based his estimates of the rate of human reproduction in the population growth (European) in North America in the previous 150 years (1650-1800). He concluded p&g logo that the colonial population had doubled every twenty-five years or so, and took it as a reasonable estimate of the rates of growth of human populations
