We are now under more stress then anyone in any society that I can think of
ever before. The statement was that the Eskimo's lived happily and didn't have
such a hard life. I disagree on that but agree that nowadays we live in a
madhouse.
Fortunately eating Paleo has helped me and me son to keep some sanity and
living a Paleostyle-life where we can makes it even better.
Still, this comes with it's own form of stress.

Yes life became easier in some aspects. For instance, cookingpots had to be
hollowed out from stone before and that was a job that cold take a very long
time. Hey presto, metal tools, metal sewing needles and life was a bit easier.
To what price? Well, we see it now don't we?

Ah the good old navy. Forever sailing the seas to look for riches. Sailors are
a bit of a rowdy crowd to begin with and when looking at their diet... I can
imagine a scenario for unstability. Feed men shipsbiscuits and alcohol long
enough (with salted meats) and see what you get ;-)

Lol, if the global warming keeps up at this pace, the conveyerbelt will get
too much sweat water and stop and you can start using your Jezusboots in the
next decade or so. I'm polishing mine already.

Yes, infanticide, does anyone have a good view on how that was in Paleolithic
times? It's something that may occur when food is scarce, people are too many
and apparently there seemed to be the occasional canibalistic nibble here and
there. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Amen to that William, if you see the homes hear, smell them and look at life
there I'd rather walk the ice.

Have to have at least one meal a day. If not I get really really ill. Up to
the point of throwing up and headaches, bloodsugar does weird stuff.Coud be
female-related indeed.
