Which is based on the assumption that H/G groups were always on the move, but is that so? With a low population and a rich enough area, would they keep moving? I doubt it. Roy. They may have taken many hunting or trading trips though the year...especially in Summer, but even without agriculture it ...

but this was apparently the talk of an anarchist and dangerous radical. That is the opinion of the pharmaceutical industry which supplies doctors with all sorts of incentives to get you taking their pills. I'm really not sure what the technical difference is between them and a street pusher. The sh...

Wow, you guys are lucky. We barely had any 100 degree days this year. i was bummed to have such a mild summer. Especially since i made two trips back East and had to deal with that nasty humidity stuff. i had almost forgotten it existed.

i understand that, but how often do we read of science finally catching up to medicine or technology from the, sometimes ancient, past? The Euro-centric view that "science" took in the 19th century dismissed nearly everything that they didn't have the means to prove. It's still going to ta...

Vegans who don't get enough protein or iron are simply doing it wrong. There are a great many non-animal foods high in protein. A vegan knows this, but many people just like to be trendy and don't do the research. Digit, those articles were interesting. i've read similar stuff many times before, but...
