I'll have to look into the Pacific Northwest evidence one of these days. It's been a while since my own anthro class. Didn't like 2001? Wow. Admittedly it was a bit of a slow moving movie. But you get points for recognizing the reference. Watercat — Good points and it makes sense. I’ll have to look into the Pacific Northwest evidence one of these days.

The new evidence came from places like the Pacific Northwest US where food was naturally abundant. Looks like there's been a lot of environmental degradation in the ME since then. They didn't work in stone but they spent a lot of effort on totem poles etc. in their dick-waving contests. If you can't show off by driving a Hummer, at least you can have a bigger rock. ps. I hated that movie. I remember from anthropology class that people used to assume agriculture was a neccessary step on the road to civilization, but this theory was overturned.
