The Most Invasive Species Notes
many large animals would become extinct or even simply migrate further away
had to begin settling near water
and adapt to new practices such as farming/ agriculture in order to survive
Main topic
when farming was discovered and practiced
by many as time went on
surpluses of food were
able to occur, allowing for
possible permanent dwellings

Chumash vs. San Ju/'hoansi
San of southern Africa-
they are part of the Khoisan language people
who inhabited southern African a couple years back, the San still practiced ancient life,had developed poisoned arrows, leather garments for carrying, used over 23 tools, still followed
basic hunter-gatherer lives as where men hunt and women gather, they lived in a society that was much mobile and equal, due to their source of food they had less but still more frequent moves to other areas unlike some societies at the time. They did not rule under any formal power.
Chumash of southern California-
lived in richer environments, discovered
various new things such as deep-sea fishing, Tomols (planked canoes), had much more stability in their civilization with permanent housing, they had also developed a market economy, and finally they had also formed a permanent hereditary
Beginning of evolution
homo erectus began to migrate out of Africa allowing the species to adapt to new environments and find new sources of food they had never seen before
A hunter-gathering lifestyle before farming
meant more migrating over stability and settlements
many of these life styles were lived by Paleolithic
societies and were all understood in terms of kinship
majority of those who lived like this were
unable to produce surpluses of food and were
restrained to only be able carry around necessities
since many who lived like this could not carry a lot
their trading was based on the meats or material
they ONLY obtained from animals.
Paleolithic Societies
higher egalitarian societies, no true higher power
everyone in the groups often possesed the same skills
women put in more effort to support the family at times
by playing the role of the gatherer while the men the hunters
(women provides 70% of food while men only provided 30)
similar to other groups they
had rules and structures. although
no higher power existed many leaders
rose up to help in organizing tasks for hunting
or even times to figure out who would hunt or gather
and where in specific
believed to have monotheistic beliefs
