This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I mean, people obviously still engaged in hunting and gathering (they do to this day) to enrich their diet, it just wasn't as crucial to survival.

Also, most of the work of farming happens in the spring and the fall (i.e. sowing and harvesting seasons). The rest of the year it's pretty hands off, which gives you plenty of time to engage in other activities.

Sure, but hunter-gatherers still have tons of free time. There are still people who live like that, people have observed and studied them.
