This was an experiment in using very early video and computer technology to make four lectures over a week to introduce social anthropology. Made in 1988 it is very crude and rough but explains some basic concepts. For more recent attempts please see www.alanmacfarlane.com

  • bushmen live in bands of 25 - 50

    I saw ca 50 blacks kill a white gyus without any reason in LA - I guess the instinct breaks through here

  • 14067 is 1 4567 without 5 as 5 is a holy number if taken by 5 and it is in the third place

    the gender difference is kind of small there as they are very similiar or attraction would lead to lethal population explosion that is checked by colds in norway

    the 5 misses as I got 3 X 5 kicks in the head in LA trying to stop a rape and implies you will be missing if you get killed in LA USA traveller it is a warning by God

  • fish oil is strongly antibiotic

  • which makes me wunda .. if do neonothol had 16hondred ccm then w might have real Cam-brios closer to actual caveman with huge aggression and perfect memory ... maybe that one of them einSTEIN made a huge FIRE so he could heat the cave mixing old race needs with the development of the inttelectual world of modern man ...

  • also we could have NEWunderthalers in US and scandia with 1600 ccm brain valume in neanders and 1350 in homo sapiens due to indian high neander content influencing them this could lead to primitivity an greed gatherer behaviour or to higher brain avr. volume and higher income due to higher intelligence calling breed one a protoprimitive and the positive specifics dominant genetic mix optimimum the NEWunderthal without wanting to step on any toes this is worth rejecting at least for fun ...

  • to store ...

  • maybe indians are like Sami of Finland more coldgoing and long haired but curly haired africans are short haired the curlyness reducess hair length and isolation reason sami induced or samicoraces americans and scands are double as rich as europeans and blakc tribes superpoor as gathering and STORING is not their thing as you will understand if you eat 1 week and 1 month old meat preserved in Kalahari or northern Finland very quickly yourself ... and no need for permahunters winterfree africa

  • are Totems sort of meatsticks to feed a giant and also a forest of spears for indians to hide within to stay safe as it is to narrow for him to step in and are these triangles splinters and shards that shall prevent a mythological giant from stepping into their pile rather take some sleep inducing berry juice from that big spoon first ?

  • I wonder a is the big spoon for a yeti like giant creature of legend and b is us income double that of english as it is a genetis influence of american indians or as it is a product of a recation to a different environment fo any human species so 100 brits living in a us enclave separated from the US there would become like that - could it be that the Finish Indians make scandic nations double as rich ? or are such cultures genetically improved now with indian blood and doubly as industrious ?

  • McFarlane, very right: Korah ! I say ! God made the world and its origin is described in creation !
