Whenish and whereish?

I think that good foraging skills, fire tending, food preparing, cooking, weapon / net / hook / clothing / carrying equipment making etc etc were probably very highly prized indeed. Children were probably raised communally too... We get a lot of the popular conception of the evolutionary story very much as a 'story' without much rigerous investigation of the anthropological record... "clan of the cavebear" and the like...

It is amazing how diverse human cultures can be...

I'm glad we don't have to agree to disagree... At least I don't think we have to because I'm not sure that we are disagreeing...
