  • Alan Macfarlane, How could I forget.

  • Sorry i will try to clarify. I was wondering if there was evidence of a modern society or a non peasant society when the English Island was controlled by the Romans from 43 A.D. to 410 A.D. What I was trying to ascertain was if England only had a social downturn during the so called dark ages, I have been trying to find accurate information about this but so far i have come up empty

  • Romans? In the 14 century? Do you mean the Holy Roman Empire? By Social Structure (I think) he means the basic form modern Social Structure -Hierarchical globalizing stratified societies that emerged in the 12th to 15th centuries.

    Anyway back to topic. Sorry if this sounds naive, but "Who is this person?" (non-judgmentally). I'm not good with faces just names and I want to follow up on this.

  • at eleven minutes into the video you mention that the social structure in the 14th century was fairly modern. I'm not a Historian by any means but during the Roman period is there evidence of that type of society? The reason I'm asking is because i am wondering if there was a downturn only in the so called dark ages. I am attempting to put together an overall picture of Ecology and Economy

  • As a person with Asperger's Syndrome with more intellectualised notions of social relationship rather than instinctual I am prone to fascination with this subject. I do wonder though whether new ideas about the human pysche (well: in this case nuero-diversity) such as Autistic Spectrum Disorders are applied retrospectively to previous interpretive studies: e.g. validity of evidence based on assumed motivation of source which mght be based on a broad assumption of human motivators etc?
