The life of the food gatherers
We may assume that the style of human life during the palolithic millennia was basically the same as that of food gatherers
That that fifteenth and sixteen central europeans discovered in the new world
The accounts left by the exployers and by the settlers and missionaries
Who follow them are valuable in giving us exlampse in our common human path
The following report is by the jissuit father jacoobb biggt who lived between seventeen fifty and seventeen sixty seven among the indians of california
His description of the californians gave us a picture of parliolific ancestors
And also challenges common assumptions about human nature with all their poor diet and hardships
The californians are seldom sick
They are in general strong hardy and much more healthier than the many thousands who live daily in abbalance
And on the choices
Firir that the skill of parisian cooks can prepare
嗯
For the small pox
The californians are like other americans indeded to europeans
And this disease assumes a most pestlential character among them a piece of clothes
Which a spaneers just recovered
Which a copoth had given to a californian communicated in the year of seventeen sixty three
The disease to a small mission and in three months
More than one hundred individuals died from what i have already said of the californians
It might be inferred
That they are the most unhappiand pediable of the children of heelm yet such a suposition would be already wrong
And i can ensure the reader that they live unquestionably much happier than the civiilizzed inhabitants of europe throughout the whole year
Nothing happens
That causes a californian trouble or vacation
Nothing that renders is life
Comversam and death
Desirable envy
Jealousy and slandder and bitter not his life
And he is not exposed to the fear of losing
What he possesses nor to the care of increasing it
The californians do not know the meaning of mim mine and two thine those two ideas
Which according to send gregorory fill a few days of our existence with bitterness and unaccountable evils
Though the californians seem to posist nothing they have neverthetheless all that they want for they covered nothing beyond the productions of their poor
Ill favourred country and these they always
Always their reach
It is no wonder
Then that they always exhibit a joyful temper and constantly enduouged envirrement and laughter showing this their contentment
Which after 哦is the real source of happiness
