The Hunter Games

from We Have Concerns Hosted by Jeff Cannata/Anthony Carboni

Some people say that the advent of farming gave people more leisure time to build up civilization, but hunter-gatherers actually have far more leisure time than farmers do, and more still than modern people in the industrialized world. Some even used their leisure time to gamble. Jeff and Anthony discuss time management of ancient peoples, and how that applies to us. GET BONUS EPISODES, VIDEO HANGOUTS AND MORE.
