There is one minor correction, though, I have to make - pre-agrarian man was stronger and more awesome than today's man, BUT early agrarian people would beat the crap out of the other two on any given day. Look at your newest article - http://chaosandpain.blogspot.de/2012/10/how-i-learned-to-stop-worrying-and-love.html - about stone lifting. Most of those feats of strength were performed by the working forces of "simple" agrarian societies where people had to work hard as shit if they wanted to survive. Neither ancient nor modern hunters and gatherers were as badass as ancient Indians or Greek or Persians (look up Zurkhaneh or Pahlavani http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varzesh-e_Bastani ) or Bavarians or VIKINGS. Hell, take porters, fishers and even farmers from the last couple of centuries. They had to be strong as fuck.<br /><br />The point about size.... For hunters, a higher stature was an evolutionary bonus - longer strides made for, on average, better endurance hunting, which was basically a form of hunting consisting of running some beast to death and outmanning it until it died of exhaustion. Or you did.<br /><br />With the agrarian lifestyle, speed (mostly running, some throwing or impaling for fishing) and long-distance endurance stopped being the main selective criteria. Strength and strength endurance became the main demand. Suddenly, you had to work hard and lift stuff and build stuff. That's why people became somewhat stockier - better leverages made better farmers. Basically, they had to be built like (low weight class) powerlifters. Look at those old badass grannies from Siberia who had to work hard all their lives, being the product of generations of other grannies who either managed to do so, or died. They are small, stocky, strong and more manly than the average couch American.<br />For pre-agrarian endurance hunting, you had to be like<br />http://www.planetseed.com/files/uploadedimages/Science/Features/Health_and_Safety/For_Your_Health_--__Running/Related_Articles/gudigwa_hunt.jpg<br />and http://www.everything-suxx.com/wp-content/Haile-Gebrselassie.jpg and maybe Usain Bolt (by the way, those Caribbean guys are supposed to be so good at sprinting and have such high testosterone levels due to being forced to work farm labor for generations. That's cruel and unhuman, but now they have awesome genetics. so yeah.)<br />In an agrarian society, a desirable physique was more along the likes of strongmen and powerlifters. Carry heavy stuff, use a sledgehammer to drive something into the ground, work like a mule etc.Joachim von Kieselhorsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10494174099120879549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835524249360195666.post-61340634171675590862010-05-27T12:37:19.926-04:002010-05-27T12:37:19.926-04:00So true.
