In times of bountiful harvest
By definition, hunter gatherer societies didn't plant crops. There was no "harvest".
raid your neigbours
By definition, Hunter gatherer societies follow herds. You cannot have many possessions when you have to move all the time. "Raids on your neighbours" (what neighbours?) would be utterly pointless and with the risk of injury and death to your own group, ensure your rapid extinction.
Well first off, oh wait....others have already called the bull shit. Alex look at archeological data. Human skulls and bone autopsys of the time show many violent deaths, trauma, and hardships. People could not always find herds and bountiful HARVESTS in thier nomadic life style, and warring was for food and other base nescessities.

You've never looked at archeological data in your life. 12 hours ago you thought hunter-gatherers harvested crops.

jesus alex, he said, "In times of bountiful harvest and good hunting, war was quite rare and trade often prospered." (emphasis added) NOWHERE did he mention agricultural crops. does "harvest" necessarily pertain to "crops"? NO.

what do you think hunter gatherers gathered? regardless, you're getting off on a tangent. i'll make this quick: nuts, berries, squash, acorns, wild fruit... the first domesticated crop was the avocado, and it was domesticated in mexico less than 10,000 years ago. people have been harvesting wild plant foods from nature long before that. how about addressing any of the arguments in my earlier posts or providing empirical data to support your claims?

Is it worth it? You knowledge of hunter-gatherers extends 36 hours and you're already convinced you're right. There's no arguing with that mentality.

according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary of the English Language, you can "harvest" deer.
when was the last time you saw a deer farm? since when have deer been an agricultural crop?

alex. the word can be traced back to the 15th century. that doesn't mean that it's outdated by 500 years.

Fine. There really is nothing more to say. You first encountered this idea 36 hours ago and have now reached your unshakeable conclusion. I'm impressed by your open mind.
