Our ancestors spent well over 99% of our species' evolutionary history living in hunter-gatherer societies. That means that our forebearers lived in small, nomadic bands of a few dozen individuals who got all of their food each day by gathering plants or by hunting animals. Each of our ancestors was, in effect, on a camping trip that lasted an entire lifetime, and this way of life endured for most of the last 10 million years.

I think I'll finally be making a comeback to this thread, now that I'm feeding my brain with new information from my course. :mrgreen:

The "K" in J.K. Rowling's name doesn't stand for anything. She just likes the way it sounds with the J in the order of letters in the alphabet.

My friend's horse is called Buckwheat BArt.
It is embroidered on his saddle pad.
He used to be a race horse.
Won over $250,000.
That is considered only marginally successful. :beaten:
