[@kayshanice689]

Loveeeeeee this! Very informative.

[@domib.3924]

They are seldom bored. A truly happy life filled with adventure.

[@kirstinstrand6292]

Yes, and whole, untampered, foods!

[@dannynmelissa57]

Hadza would eat more meat if there was more food to hunt but the other tribes around them have blocked them off because of farming

[@education9723]

And herding

[@rotarueugenia7306]

Thank you, Dr. Alyssa! 🎨🎵👋

[@nickmills8476]

very informative in contrast to the recent meat only craze

[@richardherberthenkle2817]

I am an historian and a linguist. I do appreciate Dr. Crittenden`s work, however the assumptions of time frames and dates of hundreds of thousands or millions of years in an evolutionary theory of scant fossil evidence has no relevance in this talk. There are a number of hunter gatherer societies on the earth, living on almost every single continent. We even see that many of our North and South American Native Tribes were and some still are hunter gatherers. This is not a throwback to the stone age. It is fine that Dr. Crittenden studies this, but why not look at the recorded history and take a look at the changes and effects upon societies and time frames that do not require that we put our faith in a theory of prehistoric man which is closer to a fantasy. I can lend my ear much easier to this discussion of primitive societies, but I do not feel that comparing them to "stone age" people is fair to them and their intelligence as human beings. Persons have left Amazonian primitive tribes, moved to advanced countries with anthropologists who discovered the tribes and lived just as normally in the new society as any other person. Just because these societies are organized as hunter gatherers does not mean they are a reflection of a supposed human existence before that of which we have recorded history--which is about 7000 years. Many anthropologists ask us to put all of our marbles on a theory which has not been proven, nor has anywhere near the kind of evidence necessary to be taken as a given. There are other good explanations which can explain how and why such primitive tribes came about. "Human Evolution" is not it. I just can`t buy it, a reliable Amount of evidence is simply not there. Too many scientists reach in wanting this to be true.

[@gyard7826]

I don't think she put enough thought into this. I don't even know what the point of her research is. She just basically talked a little bit about the Hadza and basically said they were like every hunter gatherer society ever.

[@sergiomesquitarocha8018]

So you are superstitious and vegan... That means you are totally biased, like all the rest with the same ideas. You people are dangerous with such thoughts.

[@bogdanditu11]

Brilliant explanation!

[@swholeanimal3422]

The hadza are a pretty extreme case. They live in a very hostile environment where as most huntergathers lived in less hostile areas.

[@education9723]

Most of the less hostile environment are already replaced by Neolithic farmer and their offsprings,civilization.

[@Ruktiet]

What? Why would you say that? They live where most of human kind has evolved. Seems like an empty statement.

[@philippuhrig3681]

They live surrounded by baobab trees everywhere in an abundance of food and spend little time every day collecting food. So its the exact opposite, lol !

[@yoursoulisforever]

The early Inuit would be more fitting to your supposition IMHO.

[@szabionody9256]

!!!!! excellent!!!!

[@hrhtreeoflife4815]

Q observation WE'RE DOING THE EXACT SAME THING TODAY! Schools, daycare, after school care, babysitting. Women gathering food (grocery stores and gardening) Men "bring home the bacon 🥓" throw a bbq party on game day! Children help out (sometimes) Q

[@bogdanditu11]

I don t even get what the point is

[@ramirocamano8847]

She didnt learn that high heels are so bad for the feet

[@normalityrelief]

02:22 “So how do moms do it?” Scientists moved on to alternate quantum realities because this question was too hard...

[@HomemakerDaze]

I want to go live in a tribe and hunt and gather..

[@antoniescargo4158]

Stag or stack. What do you mean? The word I do not understand is not in the transcript.

[@philippuhrig3681]

Its stack !

[@kevonnoel13]

So meat fruit honey and some dairy

[@Ihatelightbulbs]

6:00 doggie yawn

[@gyard7826]

It seems like she's basing too much off of one culture.

[@dannynmelissa57]

She doesn't talk about how most the animals they ate before are not where they are forced to live. They are surrounded by farmers so the food they ate can't migrate there anymore

[@Ruktiet]

Yeah, but she’s white, and thus is the offspring of ancestors that ate drastically more meat (even though I already question the low reported contribution of meat in the Hadza diet in this presentation), because, surprise surprise, all of these tropical plants and their starchy rhizomes and fruit occur much less in the north. Thus, meat is the most essential part of the human diet.

[@swholeanimal3422]

Idk man my mom can eat 3 lbs of meat in a sitting and I can do about 2. We eat mostly meat btw

[@domib.3924]

We belong together.

[@zaimahbegum-diamond1660]

Love her.🍷

[@jamesherbert1628]

She made the talk all about the"mom" and community. Nothing about fathers or masculinity.

[@ernststravoblofeld]

That's her specialty. Other people have other specialties.

[@bogdanditu11]

Very stretched point
