""It is not possible to say that any human population, at any stage of development, is living in the same way that it was a few hundred, let alone a few thousand years ago. It IS possible (and profitable) to speculate that whereas no western civilization has remained intact for very long during our paltry history of little more than two thousand years, surviving groups of hunter-gatherers around the world may well have been living in a similar manner, according to similar rules of social behavior and organization, for many thousands of years. Insofar as we respect longevity and survivability, it seems that they have something that we do not."
