Re: [marxism-thaxis] Baseball and Worldview Blog: STONE AGE WAS MORE CIVILIZED THAN SO-CALLED CIVILIZATION : My thesis that the Stone Age was more civilized than so-called Civilization is based on the theses of Eminent Anthropologist Marshall Sahlins in his essays “The Origin of Society”, “The Original Affluent Society” ; the critique of Darwin’s ideas on Human Evolution by Antoinette Blackwell that cooperation and balance were key in human progress , not competition and savage rivalry ( In Preface to _The Sexes Throughout Nature_; and my thesis ,the same as Blackwell’s, that human’s original ecological location determined that human original nature is social , not selfish ( my essays “ Is Human Nature Social or Selfish ?”; and “Survival of the Nice and Fertile”)
