#1: From the article “How we grew so big” by M. D. Lemonik and B. Walsh, we are given the impression that hunter gatherer lifestyle was healthier for the human body. Hunter gatherers lived a life of high protein low fat, hunting what meats were available and picking the fruit and veggies that were relevant to the season. The amount of work and action that took place hunting for these animals and climbing to pick the fruits and vegetables they needed, burned off large amounts of calories at a time. Not only that, but calories were burned even more as a result of their constantly moving nomadic lifestyle.
The article further suggests that we technologically surpassed our own biology with the invention of agriculture. According to the article, becoming more reliant on grain in our diets and less on meats, vegetables, and fruits, have caused a deficiency in vitamins and minerals. As a result there was a decline the overall quality of the human body. Today we have higher caloric intake, specifically in fats, and technology makes it so we don’t have to do the manual labor that hunter gatherers had to do in their time. For instance, where hunters had to run to catch their prey, we today have farms were we can pluck whatever livestock needed in minutes, all the while not depleting the amount we have by breeding at a rate that eases any worry of running out. This sedentary lifestyle makes it harder to balance the now high calorie, high fat, and high sugar diets of current.
#2 According to the Composer’s Neanderthal recreation article, the Neanderthals became extinct 30,000 years ago, and despite having a reputation of not being too smart, researchers suggested that they were in fact a lot more resourceful and innovative than first thought. After listening to the composition by Simon Thorne, I actually found it to be a musical piece, I didn’t feel like it was the happiest musical piece. There was one part in the act/musical where a male singer looks as if he is reaching for a piece of fruit from from a tree, after he took a bite it was like he had invented a way of picking and eating, or showing how tasty a new thing is, because everyone else was amazed. But then after their yells and wails (of fear or sadness) I couldn’t quite figure out what the point of the piece was. Is a ritual taking place? It seemed, to me, to be a very dramatic musical but with no words, just their body movement, enough were you can almost understand that there is a story. I have to say this is music, expressing their feelings during something particular, or after and event had occurred. Either way, they expressed themselves.
