Hunter|-|gatherers have thousands of wild +sources of food to subsist on. Agriculture changed that all, generating an +overwhelming reliance on a few dozen domesticated food sources, making you +extremely vulnerable to the next famine, the next locust infestation, the next +potato blight. Agriculture allowed for stockpiling of surplus resources and thus, +inevitably, the unequal stockpiling of them --- stratification of society and +the invention of classes. Thus, it allowed for the invention of poverty. I think +that the punch line of the primate|-|human difference is that when humans +invented poverty, they came up with a way of subjugating the low|-|ranking like +nothing ever seen before in the primate world. |
