商品の説明
内容説明
Ten thousand years ago, our species made a radical shift in its way of life: We became farmers rather than hunter-gatherers. Although this decision propelled us into the modern world, renowned geneticist and anthropologist Spencer Wells demonstrates that such a dramatic change in lifestyle had a downside that we’re only now beginning to recognize. Growing grain crops ultimately made humans more sedentary and unhealthy and made the planet more crowded. The expanding population and the need to apportion limited resources created hierarchies and inequalities. Freedom of movement was replaced by a pressure to work that is the forebear of the anxiety millions feel today. Spencer Wells offers a hopeful prescription for altering a life to which we were always ill-suited. Pandora’s Seed is an eye-opening book for anyone fascinated by the past and concerned about the future.

Paneora's Seed: Why the Hunter-Gatherer Holds the Key to Our Survival
2011/12/30
形式:ペーパーバック|Amazonが確認した購入
This is a very inrteresting book. I have been interested in the era during the time humans moved along with the
animals they ate for food. Using the plants and sea food. During this time, humans must have struggled finding
enough food to surive on. It may have been hard to find water and adequate shelter. How to find food
and water? Just watch the animals.
How is their experience to help our greedy, spoiled generation? I haven't gotten to that part yet.

A great book, which discusses the evolution of human lifestyles with historical and scientifical explanations.
The book is relatively small compared to the information it beholds.
