I am very excited to watch your docs, and to have been introduced to your work!

Got very interested in prehistoric humans in the early 00’s, and it was astounding to discover how little we know.

Thanks for doing an AMA, and spreading your work.

Prehistoric human existence is assumed to entail short, savage lives, where copulation often equalled rape, and the strongest male ruled by brutality.

My personal research paints a drastically different picture: egalitarian groups, where each member was valued, and resources were shared.

“Civilization” seems to have brought at least as many woes as improvements.

We’re taught human-nature is to be greedy and hoard, yet, my study of prehistory, and my experiences, lead to the conclusion that human nature is to work on behalf of family and community, contribute, and learn.

Is 98% of human history drastically misunderstood, or am I missing something?
