Tales of Adam

Sometimes I'll come up with notes for an episode on that, but...

I walked for like an hour and I just was talking into my phone on this morning walk, listening to birds and walking around my neighborhood and trying to kind of piece together ideas that are certainly inspired by reading Daniel Quinn, specifically his book Tales of Adam, which is this.

great like kids book but beyond you know book for everyone about a father and son hunter gatherer Adam is bringing his kid Abel along and teaching Abel not only just like you know how you'd think that like what what's the most important thing a hunter father's teaching his son it's like how to catch the animals but actually it's an entire worldview, ideology, philosophy that emerges from being a hunter-gatherer, which Daniel Quinn wasn't just pulling out of his butt.

There's anthropologists like James Woodburn, I believe his name is Jerome Lewis, who I'm actually speaking with tomorrow.
