foragers

Before that, humans as foragers are believed to have worked about 20hrs per week, if they so chose.

If less foragers return, you have less food for the hive, so less new bees are made.

America started as a bunch of vaguely Asiatic foragers crossed over more or less in Alaska a couple thousand years ago.

Nonetheless, average daily energy expenditure of traditional Hadza foragers was no different than that of Westerners after controlling for body size.

If it can find sloes it's going to make sloe gin foragers very very angry.

As expected, physical activity level, PAL, was greater among Hadza foragers than among Westerners.

For what it's worth, modern foragers that we can study are almost to a group stiflingly egalitarian.

Used to be hunters and foragers and mountain bikers and motorcyclists and horses...

It would be kind of amazing to have local foragers post their pounds of morels and fiddlehead ferns and see local chefs snap them up.

Without property, all you'd have are bands of foragers because without the ability to control access, any group efforts could be undone overnight by anyone.

I would ideally love to see this idea extend to foragers as well.

Excerpt: In westerners, Bifidumbacterium is a microbe that many nutrition scientists thought was essential to good gut health, but it is almost completely absent in the foragers.

FTA: "The death of Chris McCandless should serve as a caveat to other foragers: Even when some parts of a plant are known to be edible, other parts of the same species may contain dangerous concentrations of toxic compounds.

"The death of Chris McCandless should serve as a caveat to other foragers: Even when some parts of a plant are known to be edible, other parts of the same species may contain dangerous concentrations of toxic compounds." Definitely, the most obvious example is potatoes.

"America started as a bunch of vaguely Asiatic foragers crossed over more or less in Alaska a couple thousand years ago." It was more like 18,000 - 12,000 years ago, and perhaps earlier, well before civilizations, or even their agricultural precursors appeared anywhere on the planet.

Foragers, hikers, and nature enthusiasts know the thrill of spotting a cluster of mushrooms peeking through forest leaf litter.
